YIELDS ELEGANCE

 

YIELDS ELEGANCE

 

Paradise my Orissa all elegance,

Pristine beauty hill in resonance,

Affluence with animal birds flower,

Mountain rage waterfalls shower,

Rich, brook ravines crystal clear,

Tropical forest fragrances allure,

Forrest green colorful transform,

Summer ecstatic, spring inform,

Dark cool shadows of tree attract,

Percolate sunbeam yield elegant, (1)

 

Valley is hewn out of mountain plain,

Meadows gentle curvatures regain,

Spring of tiny flowers migrant bird,

Marshy groove tranquil lake toward,

Placed blue waters steal heart exotic,

Dazzle gentle ripple sunlight chaotic,

Deer grazes in valley elephant track,

Small village tribal life yields elegant (2)

 

Orissa enrich by tribal culture well,

Decorative necklace bangle life dwell,

Forest land cornfield cultivation run,

Nightlong festivals celebration drum,

An ecstasy of dances tribal men women,

Young hearts wild steps drum woven,

Songs chorus attract yields elegance,

Valley of silence vibrate in resonance,

Tribal food vegetable corn forest fruit,

Honey animal on prey occasional root,

Tribal language ancient life in nature,

Simple human innocence habits pure,

Complex modern life mingle tribe once,

Tribal dancer’s rhythm yields elegance, (3)  

 

Golden beach coast casuarinas dense,

Cocoanut tree blue sea invites intense,

Biggest salty lake lagoon bird paradise,

Asiatic migration annual attract, precise,

Aura of tropical sun kisses water placid,

Emerald of nature boasts elegance yield,

Mighty Mahanadi accompany rivers end,

Fertile land harvest crop lives transcend,

The golden triangle temples, Puri Konark,

Bhubaneswar capital architectures mark,

Executive rock art unparallel endurance,

Steals traveler mind soon yields elegance, (4)

 

Ancient Kalinga of Ganga Godavari East,

Dhauli hill witness Asoka turn Buddhist,

Language Oriya rich culture immanence,

Devi Samaleswari cloth cotton print silk,

Pattachitra filigree silver mix water milk,

Son of soil Biju Subash, freedom dance,

Land of valor craft lives yield elegance. (5)
