Nature's Gift by Kumarendra Mallick

Before sunrise every morning
birds start their music class,
the butterflies fly from flower to flower
on each one of them new colour to shower

The storm rises and quells
to tell how to calm the turbulent mind,
the flash of lightning leads us
to light their paths who fail to find

It rains to wipe tears, snows to cool the heart,
there are thorns to show one may chase a mirage
or be forced to swim in order to grow
against swift and strong flow

We lose to find ourselves in thick mist
and often the waves toss us, up and down;
forever yet benign is nature,
it offers challenges and hints for solutions, too!

Thank you, Bijay babu for making my day. You quote three great poems on nature that overwhelm me.

She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove:
A maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love.

A violet by a mossy stone
Half-hidden from the eye!-
Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky.

She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be;
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me!
Lost Love by William Wordsworth

As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.
Oh, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!
I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!

A heavy weight of hours has chain'd and bow'd
One too like thee: tameless, and swift, and proud.
Ode to the West Wind by P.B.Shelley

Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation's final law
Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shriek'd against his creed
In Memoriam by Tennyson
