The Majestic Mountains

By Razia Chagla

Do not wake us, we are the creatures all over the world. Some are massive some are not so. We are all very strong. Very much a part of the world you'll live in. For centuries we have stood our ground. So many happenings all etched in our minds. Oh humans, some of you have got your history wrong. If only you'll could read us.

We are all over the land, under the sea and you can see us trying to touch the sky.

Facing the heat,absorbing the heat and liking it. Try walking barefoot over us, oh you will scream.

We enjoy the rains and make paths for the water to flow down which tickles us to glory. Oh how I love the waters falls flowing on us. The water, the blessed water showered down on us.

Sometimes you can see us speckled with snow. BRRRR IT'S soo cool bro. We are sometimes burdened with it, spread like a white carpet it is, on us. We are the ones that stand tall without any qualms...

The trees cling to us, because of them we are inhabited with a sea of living beings.

Living creatures of various species inhabit it, some walk some crawl some fly... oh the varieties in nature we are filled with.

But sadly the heartless humans they wake us up from our slumber and blast us to our core. They call it progress. Some dig us up for the precious ore and some for our possessions which they call precious stones. We do not mind giving some, but the greedy lot, they just hoard.

I used to be friends with a tall one across the river. But the greedy ones blasted it down and now it is down with the river..

Thankfully I have a tunnel running in my belly. The train goes by within me and it makes such a sound. When it whistles it makes me giggle and I really want to wiggle. Thank God iam still tall and can see the world from where I stand.

We are a part of this world. Let us be. Accept it my dear ones. Yes,

we are truly a part of this wonderful world.
