Majestic Morning
One morning I went out to my balcony to watch sunrise. Sun had not yet come. I thought let me meditate. Closed my eyes, stopped meandering mind, became still. Eyes closed, mind thoughtless, I became aware of sounds in my surroundings. Birds were singing melodic music. I was filled with exhilaration. Memory recognised most rhythms. One sound was louder than others. It was familiar but I couldn't figure it out. Out of curiosity I opened my eyes to see.

I watched spellbound the beauty of surrounds. Leaves and flowers were dancing to the music of birds and flow of breeze. Colourful butterflies were fluttering. Nature was enacting a well orchestrated performance to welcome sun.
