The Flowers’ Fervor
Chided by
the flowers adversely
the previous
day for trashing them mercilessly,
I felt
remorse and walked back into the garden sheepishly.
Soft aroma
filled winds gently blowing
The sun tenderly
kissing the buds to wake up
The blossoms
began to sway to the lilting breeze!
Lord! Not
sure if they were enjoying the Nature
Or saying no
to this creature,
Hesitantly,
I advanced,
To seek
pardon, as they glanced!
With a
soothing timbre
And lovely
glimmer
They announced
“We are from
this Nature
And hence
our nature
To make one
and all around us happy.
It’s our joy
to see you enjoy
It’s for
others that we exist
On your
happiness, we subsist.
The
fragrance, after you relish
Don’t trash,
for us to perish.
After you
savor
Be kind to
us for the favor
That’s the code
of the cosmos!
If nature is
hurt
The power it
can exert
Nothing can
cope
Nothing will
be left for hope.
Live in the
Nature
One with the
Nature!
Oh! One more
thing!
For generations,
we gave you bliss
Our final
goal, we don’t want to miss
Take us to
the Lord’s altar
Our divine destination
Our final
integration!
Isn’t that
your consideration?
Said the
flowers with fervor.
