Nature smiled


Her contours appeared blissful


Grandeur and bountiful


She allures me


Into a meditative state


Sky is blue


Mountains sparkling


So clear is the river nearby


With her playful flow,


The sound I hear is different


sweet and rhythmic

Scattered Sparks of Smile


Her stink metamorphosed into fragrance


So Fishes could reappear


I watch their rhythmic dance 


And the migrating birds are hovering over them


O! What a feast 


The air is fresh


So I breathe well


My eyes stopped itching


So I could feel my surroundings with wide-open eyes


What produced this miracle?


Nature herself


She cleaned herself


She healed herself


When she was left to herself,


without being constantly pillaged 


Who ravaged? 


When the laws to protect her are so strict,


Nobody else but you and I being driven by our insatiable greed


Greed is above the man-made rules


So powerful towards destruction


Watch out -


Amidst the changing climate


An intermission -


The gluttony is anchored 


The virus fear drove the sequel: 


The lockdown


Nature could breathe.


Her smile reappeared.
