It Is Hard To Step Down

It is hard to step down And abandon my private universe Utopia….. You may call it But it’s a heaven of myself With trees longer than General Sherman And cascades of Elixir rushing Down from the top of every cliff It has animals of all breeds All live in harmony and at peace Birds of different colors Singing melodies to each other Sun shines there everyday Rain too sprinkles with the rays Forming a rainbow of many colours With every hue bright and clear Sorrows have been dead since forever Their graves lie in the bottom of that great chasm That separates cliffs from the gardens, Watered by the third cascade Thanks to that out grown rock Which won't let the water fall in to the chasm below Beyond the grounds opposite to cliffs There are mountains covered with snow Oh I love hiking in cotton snow Nights are more magical than you can imagine A bright moon around the valley runs Singing lullabies to everyone Fireflies dance all night beside the milky weeds Until Dawn forces them to sleep Who needs wings to fly? When you have universe by your side Fearies take up at dawn To roam around in the Crimson sky I look at the region beneath Full of life, hues, joy and peace Small but enchanted... It is my life....             ____________________________ (Paghunda Zahid April 8th,2020) Placed 02 In Strand Pick 6 any form, any them contest.

Wow Paghunda, such a creative poem with great craftsmanship - you talk of birds and animals and flying and seeing beneath - I have just written a poem called "A fearsome Nominee," if you have the time, I would enjoy your comment. Blessings, Jennifer.

This poem clever - made me smile. Especially this part "the fireflies Who dance till Dawn Unless Sun forces them to their dormitories"
