Sundarbans

 You told me of a place more lovely than Camelot or El Dorado, 

like a vision in a fable where my heart longs to go,


You told me how the monsoon rain there falls rhythmically,

pouring down on the deep, dark enchanted jungle's canopy,


You spoke with a nostalgic spark in your eyes like the most capitvating storyteller,

and I as your diligent listener held on to every detail I could remember,


For someday I intend to travel to your homeland,

to see if your world is one I could ever understand 


Shall I see faces that look like yours there?

 Would they forgive me if I stare? 


Will I feel your presence all around,

as I wander on that sacred ground?


The scorching sun shall set me free,

when I feel the warmth you never gave me
