Between the wooded valley
I am uplifted highly
To see the silver specs of the rising sun
The golden rays intermixed with diamond linings
Falling like the droplets of rain
And coming to bless the day.
It gladdens my heart
It beautifies my heart
To hear lark and the golden voice of the nightingale
Singing the melody of life
Oh see the silver linings of the waterfall
And hear it roaring voice
Take a look at the splendour of the lilies
And have a fill of the fresh air
What does it tell you?
Oh how I wish I could twinkle and sparkle
Like those stars which grace the brow of heaven
Do you see the North Star that is ever constant?
Shining bright distinguished from others
Take a look at those animals
The hippo, the lion, the zebra, and the gazelle
Look at the long neck of the zebra
I am jealous of the uniformity of the ants
This only points out one thing…
If only we could feel the harmony,
If only we could fly like the eagle,
If only we could appreciate the work of nature
Would we think of bomb blasts?
I bet we would think less of cannons and warfare
The less we would enjoy the cracking of guns
And frown at evil
Let’s not destroy the beauty given to us
It is there to soothe our souls
Lets not war against one another
In doing so we destroy the ultimate and most intricate nature
Life.
Why do we destroy our brothers?
Why hate us for no reason?
How can we look at the reflection of the sun on the water
And yet have a mind of discord?
The beauty and splendour
What does it point to?
That there is much to hope for
That there is much to appreciate in life
That the world is beautiful
Let’s live and appreciate what we have
Live and let live.
