THE ONE AND THE MANY

 The mountain all clad in silver
 Oversees the landscape beneath,
 Like a mighty monarch sitting on a throne
High above the earth         

Spread out at the feet below, 
Vivid flowers decorate the floor, 
 Emitting colors and fragrance,
And the magic of myriad rainbows. 

  Settled in its sovereign state, 
 The mountain is a picture of grace,
While countless minor creatures,
 Flourish in its benign shade.

  Apart from poetic musings,
  My mind can't stop wondering,
 At this amazing treasure of nature, 
 Scattered on the lap of earth.

 Be the imposing  mountains,
Or vast expanse of deserts,
Broad-bossomed rivers and seas,
Or the most humble grasslands. 

 Won't we in our limited lifespan,
 Do well to love and admire, 
 This magnificent craft of nature,
Perfected by the Supreme Creator?
