The Gliding Melodies of North Eastern Hill University



Upon the serene expanse of North Eastern Hill University,
Where anserine and anatine fowls doth elegantly glide and frolic,
A melodiousness of placidity doth reverberate,
An accord of nature's pulchritude on exhibit.

The anserine and anatine fowls doth caper upon the mere,
Their plumage ruffling in the delicate zephyr,
A panorama of poise and refinement,
A vista that doth one's psyche with equanimity pacify.

But beneath the superficies, there is more to discern,
A deeper significance in this serene scene,
For as the anserine and anatine fowls doth frolic and preen,
They reflect life's ever-changing arras.

For as the anserine and anatine fowls doth glide and soar,
So too must we in life, our own itineraries investigate.

And as the anserine and anatine fowls doth elegantly frolic,
We too must learn to relinquish and discover our course,
For in the pulchritude of their simple play,
A deeper verity doth lie, if we but linger.

So let us take a moment to contemplate,
The anserine and anatine fowls upon the mere,
And let their pulchritude be a source of stimulus,
As we navigate life's tumultuous wake.

For in the tranquility of the mere,
We find a reminder of what is truly at risk,
The pulchritude of nature, the pulchritude of life,
A reminder to always aspire for equipoise and poise,
As the anserine and anatine fowls doth frolic and prosper.
