In this poem - Magnificent Land, I admire, the natural beauty of Finland; its Pristine freshness, and fauna and I glorify the almighty God, for this bountiful Creation!

1. Magnificent Land
- V J Kuusinen
Uphill through the valley,
Between the bewitching green,
where the air, is fresh and clean,
A steadfast walk, on these random trails,
So uneven and tricky, on these hills, like mounds,
with twists and turns, going around!
Embracing and camouflaging,
abundance life forms, in its thickets,
In
It's, Rich Biome!
Protruding, knotty wooden roots,
branches of cut, dead, decimated trees,
fallen on ground, these dried shriveled leaves,
these, pebbles, rocks and bolders are steady impediments,
to my joyous stride!

2. And
passing through the decomposing trunk of tree,
The engineer corps of ants,
unrestrained in their moves,
like a swarm, flooding through, the dead tree,
gathering meal for their nest, In anthill dome!
A short, fleeting parade?
or
A lengthy show, that commences, at daybreak,
with, the sun's first ray,
till the sun, hits in bay?
Bit further, I venture, to explore,
this wilderness, truly confers, I exhalt!
yet further, I proceed,
Passing, a few meadows in between,
blanketed with rich, lush greens, with plentiful wildflowers,
like

3. lupines lupinous
&
florishing daisies and dandellions
brings in, The Sunny Gleam!
I see,
undergrowth of distinct vegetation,
with curtains of trees, as draped in varied greens,
Truly mesmerising it seems !
Truly Astounding and Enticing,
Our God'sCreation!
And,
A little further, a spectacle, an indescribable view,
From The Forest of Aspen, I see
Openness, of Stretching Fields,
stretching for miles, Till I see,

4. Setting, with an Awesome, Distant view,
with
Backdrop of Boreal Evergreens,
Full of conifers, eastern hemlocks, pines, spruce, and firs,
cypresses, junipers,
with their arrowheads,
projecting upwards, towards the open skies, It seems!
With the gush of breeze, rustling leaves,
of quaking aspens,
under which I stand, to admire, this blessed land,
I walked through the woods, with
birches, beechs, maples, oaks, and a few larch, ash, elm
were sparingly dispersed in between!
Now,
For a Moment,
A Brief Interlude,
I sat, for a while, to embrace this view,
clear blue sky, so pleasant and serene,

5. I see, conquest of clouds, streaming in,
full stream,
But leisurely disperse, and then gets blown away,
Still
A few are left scantily scattered, here and there,
and
Luminous Sun, shining in between,
With it's striking, blinding beams!
Surround'd me, this rich acrtic vegetation,
with plentiful,
of ferns, varied lichens, and mosses!
With,
bushes of forest berries, blueberry, lingonberry, have flooded all
grounds, yet
wild strawberries, raspberries and blackberries,
sweet smelling berries, tantalise my instincts,
to pluck, to grab a bite,

6. woods with plently more, that are inedible or out of sight!
I see,
Ferns, Horsetails growing in shadowy, moist belts,
these living fossils, withstood hard millions of years,
and,
are here, to stay,
Forever,It Seems!
What a spectacle, It truly amazes!
Yet, more I see,
Awesome wilderness with, It's captivating Greens!
buttercup, hogweed, cowbain, plantain, common elder, red elder,
all, in my way!
But, Stinging nettle, milk thistle, burdocks,
Gorse, hawthrone, thrives better
by dwellings, and open fields!
Awesome has been my stroll, through the woods on this
narrow trail,
Floating in comes, a sensuous smell,

7. in this vivid verdurous woodland,
evoked by dainty white flowers, called lily of the valley,
growing in abundance, among the narrow trails,
Magic of its fragrance, is, in the air,
sublime, yet so captivating!
White bells, in cusp of elongated leaves,
among the lilies of valley, I ensconce,
Delightfully Rejoicing,
This God's Beauty of Abundance,
In Display!
Like Empyrean,
Thy magnificent creation,
This Nature; This Multiple Impermanent,
Is truly thought evoking, for an existential being!
Now sets in, The Evening Prelude,
This walk, in the woods,
and this whole view,
sure, A Treasure, to My Memoire!

8. Its what I shall,
Truly Embrace for Life!
God's mesmerising spellbound charm,
all around and everywhere,
which humans can't comprehend, create or share!
This realm, Truly Gladdens
My Heart and My Soul,
O Lord,
Thy Unlimited Power of Creation,
Truly astounds,
leaves
Entire Humanity Spellbound!!
