ગંગોત્રી-SARYU PARIKH

Is this Heaven or what?

The birds fly by with me on their wings,
Sweet chirping in trees, competing to sing,
The birds and the leaves are turning their heads,
Is this Heaven or what?

The sailing and piling of cloud after cloud,
The sun on its tippy toes, holding the veil,
The sand and the rays feel warm and wonder,
Is this Heaven or what?

The seeds are sleeping, quite snug and safe,
Spring comes swinging to shake them awake,
The seedlings spring out so green and grinning,
Is this Heaven or what?

I sit on my deck so close to the dell,
  Imbibe all I can to please my each cell,
The life in me love to ask an angel,
Is this Heaven or what?

Early in the morning, I was sitting on our deck with a cup of tea. The gentle birds were flying, the trees were singing and the sailing away clouds, gave me the first line.
