Sumita Datta - When I met Niagara...

When I looked from far…
I heard that he was telling me…
Why you are so far?
Come; come to me… my dear…

I walked for 10 more minutes…
And then I could see him clear…
But again he told, “Why you are so far?
Come, near to me, very near …”

I reached the destination
And I said; “Wow you are so cool & bright? ”
He said, “Why you are standing there?
Take the ride, and come to my lap…”

I took the ride, and reached near very near….
Naigara welcomed me with chilled mist…
I started feeling soft and chilled..…
As the pinch of mist… was touching my chest…

I closed my eyes and opened …could not see any color
Other than white milky white.. snowy white…
I wanted to ask him many thing(S)
But I could not ask him anything…

He told me, I am here to make you feel fresh
Feel it… enjoy it… and cherish it…
Enjoy the moment and enjoy the mist…
Feel the freshness with the pinch of mist…

Then he told me to look at the back...
And I couldn’t believe;
It’ was a full rainbow
Looking, at me……

I became mute, I kept quite
And suddenly, I could hear the rhyme…
“Who is the fairest of all?
A Barbie doll? Or the winter snow fall? ”

I shouted… “No. not at all.
No… it can’t be anything
Other than You… Niagara Fall…
Niagara, you are the fairest of all…”
