Good Morning - East West North South 1/2

Good Morning     1/2
East West North & South


Birds and flowers said, Good Morning to not yet visible Sun
The Butter flies, Black bee and the Honey bee, spread their wings,
While hovering on one flower to another and flying on buds 
Before touching flower’s petal like lips and taking its nectar

A bunch of honey bees, which were waiting and were flying
On the lotus flowers and buds, looked towards east and 
Said Good Morning to east horizon 
Where the Sun was awaited any moment to start spreading 
Its sunshine, while some smaller insects quickly said Good Morning
As if, they too were in a hurry to feel the nectar of 
Mother Nature on their lips

In the North east of the country we know as India
On the mountain Himalayan ranges of Kanchanganga*  
Where the Sunrays had just started spreading first golden beams
The peaks too were saying Good Morning in the praise of God, 
Thanking the Mother Nature for spreading its 
Gold treasures* on the snow peaks so lavishly

After Thanking Almighty God, they made a humble complaint
Saying, “Some humans are planning to make a road up to 
Mount Everest. O God, Give some good sense to them
Not to destroy God’s grandeur and the serene beauty of this place
By polluting the Mount Everest and its adjoining places, 
Even the noises of many and many army boots 
Too is creating a noise pollution, my Lord”

A strange thing happened and the peaks heard loud thunder in 
The sky, as if in a roaring Voice the God was telling and murmuring
“Do not bother My Child. If some humans have gone out of mind
And are trying to carry out any such designs, 
On or around Mount Everest,
The earth would over turn such devastating projects, 
Build by some humans or by those, who are
Working in human disguise to destroy the peace of earth
By violence, hatred and a compassionless attitude and life

*Gold treasures.    In the early morning hours when the sunrays fall on 
                             The Peaks of Kanchanganga, they glitter like gold. 
                             This view can also be seen from Darjeeling (a hill 
                              station of India) or from Sikkim state of India

* Kanchanganga    Name of the Himalayan mountain range covered with
                              snow
