Praise for Oslo
Praise for Oslo Thick forests encircle Oslo Human voices dare not disturb Nature’s sacred intent Oslo is a sleepy hamlet Sheer style of tranquility A city to love and savor I try many things In quest of heart’s fullness I am never better than when I am in oslo Climbing the hillside I compel my soul Explore oslo’s old world charm phantoms of hatred Grip of claw- I escape to Oslo Moors, valleys Idyllic hills, fjords Echo in my mind Oslo, oslo Ibsen was beside me- National theatre, Karl Johans gate I find content At Ibsen’s grave I offer flowers I could spend several months in Oslo Bicycling through the forest Exploring the countryside In oslo natural beauty on the doorsteps No terrorism overhead National theatre Musing upon Ibsen’s A Doll’s House For Yoga and zen I take in Oslo’s wooing breeze -Santosh Kumar, Oslo, September 2008
