NATURE

you cannot be truly called a poet unless to write at least one on nature ! ;)

   

I stand in my lonely balcony

wanting some quietude and calm,

Hoping that the wondrous nature

acts as a soothing balm.

I give a sigh as I stand there

soaking in her serenity,

Our selfishness has made us forget her-

Oh ! It's such a great pity.

Then as if hearing my woes

the sky changes its hues by the hiding sun,

A dazzling light streaks with a roar

and the heavy grey clouds burst open.

From them drop million glittering pearls :

falling on my face first,

Then my hands and my whole being-

as if to quench my soul's thirst.

The rain flows down my body

washing away all the gloom,

I feel like a bird about to fly,

I feel like a flower about to bloom.

We strive to hoard materialistic things:

in them we try to find happiness,

When in fact the joy obtained from mother nature

on no account is less.

Author's Note

Spas, massage parlors, hydrotherapy .......... all this is nowhere as rejuvenating as the lovely, serene Mother Nature. Like they, ' Home ' remedies work the best !!!!!!

It made me wonder if I had ever written anything about nature. I'm not a very nature-y person but I wanna preserve this as well. Great imagery you have. You take such elegant and accurate descriptions. Also, the concept of a healing nature is brilliant.

Keep Writing. ^___^

We dont have time to stand and stare.... So true. we need to involve ourselves with the nature more often!!! Amazing poem

[ChristopherPoet]

Such colourful poetry, starting serenely and then invigorating with the storm, how things can change in nature's garden so quickly. Your words are very emotive and capture the essence of the change in seasons throughout this verse also. Wonderful.

Very beautifully done!

This is a most amazing write here.

1. "I feel like a bird about to fly,
I feel like a flower about to bloom." (There is nothing like freeing the soul, you feel so refreshed and so renewed.) Wonderfully stated

2. "We strive to hoard materialistic things:
in them we try to find happiness," Isn't this the truth, so many people rely on things to make them happy. Truth is nature is the best. It relaxes the soul.

This is amazing! 100/100
