Water Colors

In Ladakh,

There is beauty

In the beautiful.

In the harsh.

In Ladakh,

Both are one,

At once.

I was so happy

When I saw

The mountains,

Or blue waters

Of Kiagar Tso,

I couldn't even cry

I was so sad.

In ladakh,

It is all one.

At once.

Let's say,

It is all very moving.

Difficult to wrap one's head around.

So take pictures. 

Say wow! Talk.

But in moments of silence,

Watch and be watched.

It is all so moving, that

It makes you still.

Both at once.

Similar things happen,

When I paint,

With Watercolors.
