… & defense to all unwanted battle

Jaya N. Bhandari

Himalayan life, dashing and challenging
Steps lots, up and down walking
Cold wind scratching cheeks as red apple
Some time drinking Chhang as the liquid of maple

Chewing yak hard cheese and Yogurt
All-day sped with yak, sheep, and goats
Chasing wolf to care of Billy goats
Carrying all needed loads

Shifting shelter along the long terraces
Haunting of the hunt by wild carnivores
Like Jackal, wolf leopards
Weather, Climate, rain, snow, and clouds

All hardship in all the time
Of the shepherds, even sunshine
And defense to all unwanted battle
Enjoying life with beings even scuttle.
