Pristine mountains, picturesque valleys and all things good
We knew we were entering paradise, credits to Bollywood
The hub of romance for newlyweds on their first vacation
A first of their many firsts to remember later with elation
But neither Mt. Titlis nor Jungfraujoch was on our circuit
With a lake on either side, Interlaken was an idyllic gambit
Gulping down our ration of hot chocolate as true hostellers
We set off on our own jaunt as backpacking honeymooners
60 exciting minutes later we were still where we had begun
Rattled and parched as every trail rolled back to square one
Without a soul to ask for directions, we trusted our feelings
Only to be chased by Swiss cows; adding to our misgivings
Hauling our cycles uphill, we debated each fork on our way
Gasping on the scent of the spring foliage; Oh! What a day!
A mountain brook kept us company till we found the valley
Looking just like the souvenir postcard I’d seen in the alley
A dash of sunshine squeezed generously over the soft grass
Speckled with myriad hues of blooms you could ever amass
A shy wooden chalet lay at the center of this alpine tapestry
Making us dream of life here, rife with the purity of a poetry
Under the wary watch of rocky precipices, aloof like a sage
We trudged around like a mountain sheep set free to forage
Plummeting almost 300 meters down from those lofty walls
nearly lost in a spray above the flora were surreal waterfalls
A breezy sensation swayed us towards this misty rhapsody
Freewheeling down the hilly meadows humming a melody
