Analysis of Lost poems
I feel at peace
among the thick woods,
tall swirling ferns,
the bird’s songs,
and the humming creeks.
Here in the secret of the forest
I pinch myself to see
if I am a human
and then I hear myself
humming an old pastoral song
over and over again.
The birds are wheeling
all around the sky
and away from the stream;
a cuckoo’s song
cracks the stagnant air.
I look out through the window
between the two tree trunks
and stretch my wobbly hands
towards the setting Sun.
My petite fingers touch nothing,
nothing at all, a faint red ball
in the distance remains
just beyond my feeble grasp
and reminds me
of the poems
I’d lost in the
desolate gorges
of the Himalayas
years ago.
