Blessed is this bush
at the top of the mountain..

To me it feels as if it is
at the top of the whole world!

It has the unshakeable mountain
to hold it atop...

The cool breeze at its service
to sway those tender leaves..

The impeccable pure water
edging its way to the bush 

Craving with all its might
to raise through those roots!

The bush has the clear blue sky 
to gaze throughout the day..

The stars at night 
to stand escort..

Every night it sleeps in peace
a sweet unperturbed sleep

A kind spider has 
weaved a web around..

The dew drops have formed
a fabric on it..

Filtering the Sunrays
which wake the bush.. 

Now tell me...
isnt the bush luckY????

I wish i could 
exchange places with it!

" I can only say that.. Every thing on the mother earth is enigma!... When I saw that dew drops on the web, It was so refreshing, it is so charming! I thought this was one more way for nature to say good morning".
