‘Twas long before I realised why
So apt the Law of the Sky-
That only when her Brother readied for rest,
Should his Sister come, to shine her best!!!

Why the Tree, for her fruits to grow,
Hath her petalled-jewels to throw-
The moth, his true destiny to find,
His Silken Abode must leave behind!

Why, the honour to bear the most delicious Date
Is in the driest desert’s Fate-
Of what value would it be,
An Oasis in a Valley????

The Firmament which must Lightening’s scourge bear,
Doth the Rainbow-Crown wear!
Why often by the most swampy marsh-side
The fairest Lily must abide?

Why Vegetation grows above and Mineral below
There’s a dune at one spot, in another snow-
Why some Stars in the sky, sparkle with glee
Some Stars, with shells swim in the Sea!!

Why the Bird has feathers, and the fish has its fins
The woodpecker, his home pecks and the spider, spins-
Why the Lion has his roar, and the hare his speed
Why there’s meal in the Crop and medicine in the weed!

The Turtle hath his shell and the Scorpion his sting
The Crab has pincers and the Eagle his wing!!
Each a unique Blessing bestowed
Each to its need, its measure endowed!

The Soil same, that the sapling feeds,
Must decay the seeds-
Thus every shell of Flesh, claims the Earth
To anoint the Wheels of Rebirth!!!

What Writ, Section and Clause
Feature in Nature’s Book of Laws?
Yet, of all Earthly Judges, stands the Best-
Impartial Advocate, favours the Fittest!!!

Not cold Justice, hard and heartless,
But, with warm merciful Compassion does it Bless-
Hating the Sin, not the Sinner
Is not Eternal Justice, the unquestioned Winner???
