The Grandeur of Distant Hills
May 6, 2008 by Abdur Rahman
Peace, one and all…
The Grandeur of Distant Hills
The grandeur of distant hills
fills me with quiet joy
as I travel into
the waking heart of morning.
They invite my eyes
and gladden my soul.
Beloved, the hills’ wide breadth
is a certain cure for every vision of narrowness.
The miracle of sun, rain and clean air
falling upon this green fertile earth,
these things are right and true
and I am grateful to have partaken of them.
Abdur Rahman, 20th April 2008
