Heaven descends

In the mountains covered by the mist,
pervades a silence
A silence owned by the paradise
in God's own country
The silence interrupted by the sound
of the creatures of the night
No maddening crowd here
and no more deadlines loom
The mind is at rest,
able to dwell on the Self
The silence sinks in
and calms the mind
The beautiful valley
capturing your heart
Wherever you see,
the green covers the earth
From bamboo trees
to the heavenly tea gardens
To touch a cloud
is no more a dream
To touch the sky
doesn't seem so distant
Have I risen so high
that I can touch the sky?
No, the heaven has descened to welcome me,
welcome me in God's own country.
