UNTOUCHED

Take me to those distant lands

untouched by human hands

untamed rivers flow spilling banks

summers see dry beds of sands

fringed with tall coconut palms

breeze stirring thoughts grand

like reading from a book of psalms.

Take me to those distant lands

inhabited by simple folks

devoid of pretentious, corrupt souls

accept you 'as you are' in their fold

Here would like to set up home

where seagulls stand near your feet

where your inner self can meet

Take me to those distant lands

where every sunrise every sunset

new facet of nature emerges

Brilliant colours painting landscape 

making you suck in your breath

Here would like to be cremated

become one with mystic land
