IN THE NATURE’S LAP
*
Kamlesh Tripathi
*
At the open deck,
Of the nature’s Club,
Under the bright sun,
The slanting sunshine,
And the passing clouds.
*
One gets to hear,
The tuneful chirping of birds,
The swishing of the roaming breeze,
The distant horn of a passing car,
Down below in the foot hills.
*
Nature is still predominant here,
Unlike the giant megapolis,
Where nature has drowned in despair,
And life has worn a new avatar.
*
The big banyan tree,
In the open deck,
Stands firm in silence,
While the hilly roads,
Wind through the mountainside.
*
Nature speaks softly,
In her timeless language,
Of patience, balance,
And quiet perseverance.
*
Yet man keeps adding,
His marks and signatures,
Trying to improve,
What was already complete.
*
The birds know no boundaries,
The clouds carry no pride,
The breeze asks for nothing,
And the hills quietly abide.
*
They teach a simple lesson:
To live and let live,
To take only what is needed,
And always learn to give.
*
As the sun slowly descends,
Behind the distant peaks,
The evening whispers a truth,
That every seeker seeks.
*
Amid the noise of ambition,
And the race for worldly gain,
Nature remains the greatest teacher,
Healing every joy and pain.
*
Be with nature my friend,
For nature will never offend,
Life may have many views,
But nature’s view is the ultimate.
