The happiest day with friends on the mountain
. By: Tashi Choetso Dege
I spent a weekend
That was so meaningful
As I was with some of my friends
On the mountainous top
I could sense hundreds of joy
And felt thousands of happiness
Wow! These days were for me
The happiest day of my exile life
No one can measure
The moment of my feeling
As it was out of mark
And that I can only feel
Oh! My dear readers
You cannot believe
How I enjoyed a lot
The free gift of the nature
We passed through the jungle
Listening to the chattering of birds
Which are so sweet and echoing
That I can still feel the beauty
We joked and talked
Laughed and walked
And reached at the top
Within few minutes of hops
The fresh morning welcomes me
As I take a long clean air breathe
The smiling sun brightens
The scenic hills and ranges
Late we collected firewood
And a bonfire beside a small cave
Had bread as the water ws boiled
Then shared llsome jokes and funny stories.
Happiness and joy were there
As the faces were full of smile
The great experience I got
Is the inner peace of mind
The actual source of happiness
Is the positive view of thinking
As happiness is got from calm mind
Not that of good material conditions
To satisfy our desire with what we have
Is the most important phenomenon
All these shined as awareness
During those days of mine with them
Long I stood to think about us
So interesting think I found was
All are from different part of Tibet
And had not seen and known before
It’s of good karma that we gathered
Seems that of my nearest ones
Flowered on me the pure love
Shared me the unconditional feeling
Wow! Life of ours so amazing
But hadn’t expected like that
When I came here in India
It’s my great karma to meet you all
It’s my providential fate to accept all
As the reflection of my past deeds
Oh! God blessed me with people like you all
And feel happy and proud of being your friend
Showering lots of thanks to all
For turning my days into sweet memories
This for sure will last long
As was an unforgettable moment with you all
Oh! I pray to you my mighty god
Let this wonderful moment rotate again
As I am sure that they all miss me as I do !
And my heartfelt thanks to all.
