POETRY

Mother Nature

Greenery, the view from the mountaintop,

the lush, multicoloured flower field,

and the dark, fine soil,

the farmer's beloved.

Throw a pebble and create a ripple,

see the fishes scuttle away,

the birds ashore, flying away,

life below water is beautiful too.

The forest too, the store of varieties

of plants, animals and their species,

those known and those still to be revealed,

only the observant see their beauty.

Sit under the tree and feel the breeze,

Mother Nature still has more to offer.
