NATURE AT ITS PEAK


The time is exactly 3:30 Am
in the morning
I was Burning my midnight candle
while nature 
was springing back to life
after the long strife
through the dusk

The cock crows
to announce a new day
always punctual 
and cautious of time
O' I see nature at work......

The sun rises
after a long night rest
bringing solutions
and new opportunities
to a man's plights
at the onset
of the new dawn
How perfect is the
workings of nature..

The flowers, plants and weeds
take their bath
in the misty morning
and dew
their time is due
to breed life
O' I tell you
nature is at work.....

The trees and shrubs
dances to the tunes
of the monsoon wind
swirling side by side
praising his glory
and wonders..
How wonderful is the gift of nature...

The lion roars 
a deep yawn
after a bloody hunt
at the dead of dusk
with the cubs and kittens
playing and hopping 
in the woods
hoping for a better tomorrow
without tears or sorrow

How wonderful
is the gift of nature,
even the plants and animals
are aware of this truth.

Nature is a gift,
cherish and conserve it...
