Nature rules us!

a poem by Gaurishankar Chemudupati

Distant mountains, still waters,
serene nature, falling snow,
inspire the poet’s mind!

Deep valleys, our thoughts,
High mountains, our hopes,
Nature and man alike!

Sun during day,
Moon in the night,
Divide the world day and night!

Charm in child’s smile,
Echo in cuckoo’s voice,
Are symbols of innocence indeed!

I was born as ‘I’,
Joined you to become ‘We’,
To share a child as ours!

Ideas and thoughts are pure
When understood, sure!
Misunderstanding makes them sore!
