The forest stretching far and wide,
reaching in a short bumpy ride.
The place so near and clear,
the view in front and even in rear.
The dry leaves continuously fall,
from trees so wide and tall.
Sunshine and shade side by side,
Natures' rule so closely reside.
Hills on the left, river on the right,
just tread on with guts and might.
Sound of insects, gurgling of water,
gives the feeling nature is better.
Trekking along the frequent curves,
relaxes the mind and the nerves.
Mist in the morning, Sun at noon,
a gift to mankind, it is God's boon.
From the bridge you can see the train,
any time of day even in heavy rain.
The strong smell of raw earth,
from where the trees took birth.
The water fills all the drains,
after frequent heavy rains.
Total dead and eerie silence,
just our journey by foot commence.
The stone chips crackle under feet,
with sharp edges and burning heat.
The birds fly around, the wind does so,
with mountains on top and river below.
