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....
