The sun rays peeking through the curtains
Spread their shine and encompass the sky
The dewdrops on the lotus leaves
Radiate their sparkle in the sunlight
The temple bells reinforce peace and faith
The grazing cattle train us to be calm
The birds fly with dew drops clinging to their wings
And teach us to keep our vision in sight
Chanting devotees, studying students,
Peasants working on the field
It reiterates that hard work is the key
As we search for peace and meaning of life
The dancing butterflies, the ripe fruits on trees
The cool wind that blows caressing your skin
The swaying trees and colourful clouds
And the yellow leaves shadowing the park
I cherished the smoothness of the petals
Breathed in the fragrance of flowers
I saw the pecking birds and fallen leaves
amongst the tall, green grass
Nature inspires…if we choose to learn
I heard the stories the elders exchanged
The melodious laughter of the children as they played
Every element of the Universe plays its part in shaping us

Magical performance of Nature is quite unparalleled, and there must born another Nature to compete with!
No one is empowered to dictate terms to Nature which has its own schedule never to be disturbed nor its track interrupted!
Intervention of humankind has the damaging impact of Nature becoming ferocious, leaving its unfathomable deadly consequences that humanity may find them unable to cope with!
How nice and polite is Nature, calling for our reciprocal approach that keeps it in tact and facilitate showering its bounties on us to observe and enjoy!
Let us not be cruel enough to pollute Nature, for it’s empowered with unthinkable energy to retard back and strike, baffling us with no remedy in sight!
A beautiful poem, a beautiful message.
