I Love Nature – I

a poem by Ramesh T A

I love Nature because it is faultless and beautiful!
I wonder at Nature because it has splendour incredible!
I am rejuvenated by Nature because it has living spirit!

I am grateful to Nature because it has given me life spirit!
I am thankful to Nature because it rejuvenates my spirit!
I worship Nature because like God it is all in all to me!

In the long hours of dark night I wait for the light till dawn
Spending the time in the thoughts of the past worthwhile, worthless
Only to redeem myself to venture out in fulfilling my ambition!

Nature is the only last resort to get inspiration, energy and mood;
Days are hot as difficulties and evenings are cool as completion;
For, hardships cannot go on like mirage till the turning point comes.

Summer cannot last longer the moment rain or winter comes in!
The chilling winter builds tombs by storms and rains in gloom;
But the hot and cold hellish weather finally yields to spring paradise!

Man’s life fluctuates between hope and despair with a longing in one;
After the success of a good work happiness settles one in one line;
Then the beaming smiles of the blooming flowers greet with fun and fair!

Clasping the drop of rain closed oyster goes down to the bottom of the sea;
A rain drop developing into a white pearl in the womb of oyster is a miracle!
Likewise many miracles of Nature absorb the mind of man to dream fantasies!
