Monastery Lores

By Noopur Vedajna Das

LUNG TA/DARCHOG

Triangular thin
cloth flags,
Lung ta,
fluttering 
along 
the winding path
to the monastery.
 
Colourful 
in their appeal,
red, blue, green 
yellow and white,
the Darchog,
for peace 
and tranquility,
a heavenly abode 
high in the mountains,

Soon blown
to smithereens
by the blast
of the 
vicious wind.

Noopur Vedajna Das is a writer, poet and an educator. She’s a keen birder and loves to travel. She resides in Mumbai along with her family.
