Communion

As the sun glistened in the sky

Its glossy rays

Roused nature all around

The glittering environment

The birds

Perched on the branches

Nestle their young ones

The warmth,

Shakes them out of their stupor

The wind

Brushes up the sleeping trees

Awakening them

From their slumber

The fountains sing merrily

As the drops

Settle on the grass

The flowers

Gleefully nod their heads

To the gently flowing breeze

As butterflies, flutter their wings

To suck the honey

The swallows chirp placidly

So as not to disturb

The tranquil spirit

Of the morn

While the cowherds stride out

To graze their cattle

The nearby forest yawns lazily

To watch the deer

Scamper wildly

The king of the beasts

Opens its blazing eyes

And arduously drowns himself

In a flagging dreamy world

His stomach is full

He will not hunt this morning

The joyful environment

Rosy and russet

Induces ecstasy

Then

Why is there so much misery?

In such a beautiful

Creation of God

  1. Nature at the ever best
    In all its manifestations
    A sumptuous feast
    To devour of ecstasy
    Quite unknown to be a monotony
    Ever a provider of joy instead!

    Mingle with nature
    Creation of God
    Wildlife owns share
    Be where you are
    And enjoy from here
    Find misery nowhere!

    Your’ communion ‘
    Complete in itself
    Presenting nature’s totality!
