Poem

Getting together
* Ups and downs, like the waves
Varied cover for all mountain ranges
The green curves, are a delight
The gold and silver entwined, soil upturned
Minerals of all kinds, the mountains yield
As if the Devas lent their brushwork
However, that brushwork alone
Could not lend aestheticism.
