Close to Nature

So grey the cloud

covered the vast sky

the nimbus ‘bout to shower

to earth it seemed so lower,

The buzzing of bees

the chirping of birds

dry the lakes ‘re once

dazzled today by chance

The peacocks are dancing         

with pride and grace

the gale so violent

yet nature so benevolent       

The trees so old ‘nd vast

drooping to cast their shadows

so cool are the boughs

that shelter sheep ‘nd cows

The newly wed bride

peeps from her palanquin

with shy on her face

uplifts her beaded lace

The rainbow so eternal

curves a shadow of serenity

spreading its bright hue

in colors of indigo ‘nd blue

The happy innocent urchins

larking in the mystic downpour

with a merry ‘nd buoyant soul

I revered God, His majestic role.
