Nature, you are an impressionist <br />Your mind is fathomless... <br />As we see your butterfly and peacock <br />Our minds are transported into insanity of joy <br />And then you show before our eyes <br />A scorpion and a vulture! <br />We are silenced for a while with just a glance. <br />You ever enjoy making a rift later and later! ! <br />Nature, you are a demolisher too. <br /> <br />Nature, you are a crafty imperialist <br />Your sword is drawn against the hapless... <br />In the piles of greenery and vegetation <br />Your serpents hide and search for our toes. <br />The breeze and the storm are your gimmicks <br />The rose and the mushroom are your identities! <br />We are reminded of the Ice Age and the Plague <br />Even as the silent eulogies are sung in your glory, <br />Nature, you are a courtier in the palace of the selfish. <br /> <br />We shudder and we suspect you <br />When the floods kill our brethren <br />Who have ever gone to see your graces! <br />Hymns have been hovering over the books <br />Written for a bowl of life and fame. <br />Our mothers once stood pointing their fingers <br />Across the horizons of sky and its red blue charms <br />And they told us tales filled with fancy and flavour..... <br />Nature, what are you?<br /><br />M.D Dinesh Nair<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nature-what-are-you/
