Heaven On Earth

Which part of earth do I stand?
An exotic  heaven etched by His Holy Hand!
Heart leaps and wriggles beneath with rapture,
spirits go high to dance in this exquisite land.

Behold!beyond the heavenly waters,the seven towering hills,
with poetic words my heart fills
where to glance foremost ,thereof I know not,
they hold me captive,with their picturesque stills.

Hues and shades of green and yellow,
prosperous and breathtaking this land so mellow,
unsolicited luck or a surreal dream,
hardly can I believe,this poor little fellow!

Crystal clear the water that flows,
reflects the endless sky and Sun that glows,
zealous zephyrs frolic with pine twigs,
glances with plea at the plunging auburn disc and reluctantly blows.

Cloudlessly stand the sky so high,
birds still perch down,unwilling to fly
from this dreamy land of eternal beauty,
and love and harmony,secretly I whisper,'so do I'!
