Harmony

What a gorgeous sight,

Magnificence, beauty and colour

Roses, lilies and carnations,

Those amazing plants

Blossoming every morning

 Radiating Fine fragrances

That Calm and give inner peace

Down the valley,

Beautiful terrains and land forms

Lead to the Meandering River

With it’s awesome waterfalls

Resounding from the woods across

And the rays of the rising sun

Dazzlingly lick the water plane.

Butterflies hover over the petals

Kissing them intermittently

As birds fly by

Suckling the thirst quenching nectar

And their males assemble

Grass and twigs to erect their habitat

Singing their finest melodies.

The gentle wind blows over the stream

Unto the giant trees

Causing them move back and forth

And boogie to the birds’ production

Beneath the vegetation’s envelop

A lion and baby Oryx lye together in quiet,

And a giant dog rescues a dumped baby!

I am in admiration, wishing never to walk off

But sadly its morning n I got to wake up

Lest I be late for work!

Dear God, why can’t such harmony exist among humans?

Have mercy Oh Lord;

And grant us tranquility.
