Original Submission by Maheswari Kedarasetty

THE DIVINE SOUL OF NATURE

A gift from the heavens, to us, the lost,

We, the children, who pay the cost.

Bound to the earth, yet reaching high,

In nature’s arms, we live and die.

Each tree, a mirror of strength and pain,

Its roots like ours, seeking peace again.

In their quiet, we find our voice,

In their growth, we make our choice.

The winds carry our thoughts, so free,

As we search for answers, you and me.

The divine soul of nature, wild and true,

Reflects the heart of me and you.

Its silence speaks where words fall weak,

a truth the wise and weary seek.

In dawn’s embrace and twilight’s song,

we find the place where we belong.

Not above, nor far apart—

but rooted deep within her heart.

“The Divine Soul of Nature” is about the deep connection between human beings and nature. Nature is presented as a divine gift, and we are shown as being closely connected to the earth. Just like trees are rooted in the ground while reaching toward the sky, we too remain connected to the earth while searching for something greater in life.

The trees represent strength, struggles, growth, and the search for peace. Their silence allows us to reflect on our own thoughts and choices. The wind represents our freedom and our continuous search for answers and meaning.

The poem shows that nature reflects our own emotions and experiences. Even without words, nature can teach us important truths. The beauty of dawn and twilight reminds us that we have a place in this world. In the end, the poem emphasizes that we are not separate from nature—we are deeply connected to it and belong within its heart
