They ask what paradise in wildlife is.

Don’t they know

paradise in wildlife is a

dense tropical forest deserted by

serene water and

habited by exotic animals and their rumble

roaming freely in the jungle.

The western wind is changing into a soothing breeze

going by ruffles of your hair and nippy cheeks,

distracting your gaze towards the bewildered snowy peaks

where settlements are nowhere to be seen

enchanted with peace.
