The Mahakali - A Hindi Haiku

parvat kee oonchaayee se
saumya, shaant, thahree huee -
mahaakaali
...
the Mahakali~
gentle, calm and still
from mountain height

(Note: The haiku refers to the Mahakali river in the Himalayas, flowing between India and Nepal, when seen by the author, some 30 yrs ago, from a high mountain on way to Narayan Ashram on the Kailash-Mansarovar route in Pithoragarh District of Uttarakhand.)
