The Flowers’ Fervor

 

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.
