A myriad-hued emotions are buried in her heart
The earth contains both tribulation and joy
Whichever sentiment there gets more strength,
Is displayed, on the surface, as nature’s ploy
With an indignant earth, we get angry earthquakes,
Unrelenting floods and unruly tempests,
The nature, in its fury, its anguish and wrath
Shows what a victim feels and protests
But, sometimes, a cheerful mood prevails
The earth bursts out in radiant colourful blooms
It croons, delighted, through the rustling breeze,
And dances wafting glorious, sweet perfumes
Let us save our trees that make rain cloud
Lets keep the rivers clean, and not blast our hills
Shun plastic and many other man made things,
Injurious for ecology , environment they kill
We want our planet to laugh with happiness divine
The earth in flush of blossoms, sky with rainbow shine
It’s nature’s serendipity that will
Make us humans willful, jovial, fully fit and fine
