The lake city- Nainital

 Long walks with lampposts 

Upslope and downhill. 

                                                                              

Friendly faces with umbrella heads along the way 

with Colorful scented candle shops.  

Open courtyard with eateries and trinkets,

Wooden Cafes and scrumptious tibetan food,

Rustic music playing along the lakeside. 

                                                

Slicing Fresh creamy and fluffy cakes                   

And pouring warm simmering tea.

Tranquil and deep waters                                            

Rowing to the quaint temple.                                         

Bright Orange and red 

Set in laps of the lake and trees .

Shimmering night lights

 and the sound of the raindrops 

against the wooden roof 

cradling you into a deep sleep.
