Splendor of Nature

By Kasheeka Gupta

Nature you are so beautiful,

Nature you are so Bright.

I am in love with you,

Please always keep me in your sight.

In your branches live glamorous

Variety of animals and birds,

Cracking of nuts and squeaking

Of squirrels can always be heard.

God has wisely given us eyes

To revere its beauty

and for the artist to epitomise.

God has made so many seas,

So we can chill in the breeze,

Seeking solace and peace.

Deep in the mountains,

Is a lot of snow,

Where the freezing cold winds,

Heavily blow.

But Nature is disappearing,

Tremendously fast,

We are trying to save it,

with all our heart.

Humans are thinking before cutting,

Each and every tree.

Because Nature is priceless,

But not for free.

The trees in the forest are so dense

Near them are streams and waterfalls.

We can hear you play around them,

As the chirruping and rustling never stalls.

We are trying to save every drop

Of lake, river and sea.

Because we have a plan A,

But not a plan B.

In the woods

Where animals are wild.

Some prowl the day,

While some howl at night.

Humans have come to senses at last,

Moving rapidly towards it in each stride.

Saving the magic of Nature

For the sake of their own lives.

Sea, mountains, plateaus and plains

Are some of your few terrains.

Even seething with sorrow and full of pain

Can never make your love drain.

We destroyed you,

We became a tragedy.

But with your magic, Nature

You became our Remedy.
