Divine Poetry on Earth

The Garden of Eden was perhaps not the only marvel that the Almighty had in store for mankind. One is reminded of the supreme being's kindness to us ,mere mortals, when one takes a look at the ethereal, almost  unearthly of all creations by the Almighty.

To start with, what does one think of, when one witnesses the beauty of the Aurora Borealis of the North--the natural display of light and shade? Perhaps it arouses the same overwhelming feeling one would have felt by witnessing the enamoring pulchritude of some Greek goddess.

The same enveloping feeling of joy and astonishment is felt when one comes face to face with the poetic splendor of the coral reefs, reminiscent of the under-water kingdom which was home to the beauteous mermaid of Hans Christian Anderson.

Similarly, one cannot help but be enthralled by the mighty stalagmites and stalactites, the natural formation adorning limestone caves, the largest of which may be found in the rocky caverns of Cuba.

Similar instances include the astonishing marvels such as the pearl -the splendid embellishment of the oyster, or the diamond- the peerless form of the same carbon that forms coal.

Such wondrous creativity can only be showcased in heaven, with the divine palette. However, in order to justify his creativity, the Almighty too needs the canvas that our mother Earth has to offer.
