‘Whispers of the wild’: Poem by Namnika Vipin, Apeejay School, Nerul

I tread a narrow path, surrounded by willow trees, 

Their leaves whispering secrets. 

The air carries the sweet scent of honeysuckles

And I hum as I pass a hive of bumblebees. 

Orchid creepers embrace mighty trees,

Birds soar, unburdened and free

Their wings slicing through the sky. 

Hidden lakes mirror majestic swans

Their grace reflected in tranquil waters.

Wild eyes peer from shadowed depths

A camouflaged canopy veils the scene

Nature’s magic woven into every leaf.

This hidden side holds wondrous secrets

Where melodious voices sing, unheard by most.
