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....

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"
