Recreating Existence


A painter, a poet and a dancer
went to a Himalayan resort
for a friendly get together
and to find their creative burst.

Nature, being joyful and kind,
showed them such wonderful hues.
It mesmerized them all and
gave them their creative cues.

The idle brush beckoned the painter.
He spread the red, blue and crimson,
and drew on the canvass a stunning picture  
with cloud silhouettes and setting sun.

The poet let the words flow freely
in his oneness and exuberance.
Adjectives galore, praises aplenty,
described the unlimited existence.  

The dancer felt the music of the space
and began a wonderful dance,  
expressed his bliss through the grace
to consummate his hilly romance.

They gathered again and admired
the wonderment of their creativity,
but looked at the sky and wondered
how nature beats their created beauty.

They figured that human creation
is limited even in its awesomeness,
that no expression is a true reflection
of existence so eternal and limitless.

The friends then joined their hands.
In unison, they closed their eyes
and savoured the expansive vista,
and let existence fill in their pores.
