"A Thousand Whispers" is painted by the renowned nepalese contemporary artist Shashikala Tiwari. It was painted on 1992 and first exhibited in her solo exhibition "My Earth and Sky in Siddartha Art Gallery, Kathmandu in the same year.
This painting reflects the mother nature. It portraits birds, trees, rivers, hills and valley. The waterfall to the right of the painting and the birds give a dimension to the painting. She perfectly blends the colors of the hills with the colors of a blooming flower.
The following poem has been written by Wayn Amtzis for Shashikala Tiwari, the same poem has also been translated to Nepali by Mr. Manjul.
"A Thousand Whispers"
Thrown against the wall
Battered into the frame
What shoulders ease you down
And raise you
What hand thrusts to the heart
Brings forth such colour
I feel beneath the wings
Brushstrokes of some final cry
Yet you do allure
You hollow you hide you hunger
With the wind's caress
You let in the light
(Shades sent forth, body that sustains)
Is it the sea or the mountain crags
That keep you from us?
I see no difference
What rises from your felt forms
Is the mountain's voice itself
Ib battered stone
Soothed by touch
Leaves that will not fall
EVER, the heart's blood moist and thick
A thousand lips whispering
Whispering
