PARADISE

It’s gloomy all around,
I can hear the thundering sound,
But,  nature has got too many ways,
It somehow knows how to produce grace.

Nature is about to unleash it’s best,
I’m  lost in nature’s finest fest,
Trees are swaying gently with glee,
And they look even happier than me.

The pearls from heaven gain some pace,
Drawing a smile on my face,
The smell of the mud has blown my heart,
The beauty of it all has shaken me apart.

Pearls from heaven arrive in disguise,
They seem so pleasing to the eyes,
And when these pearls touch the ground,
They spread green beauty all around.

Even in gloom, when nature’s beauty lies,
The earth seems to be a paradise, 
The luxury of this paradise is prime,
But have you got some time?

The pearls are pouring, the winds are roaring,
My heart is rising and soaring,
Heavens shower blessings in disguise,
And transform this earth into paradise!
