Nature's Sanctuary Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Nature has been a peaceful abode to humans since ages,
In it found peace the lost lovers, poets, monks and sages.
It soothes a broken heart and frees it from worldly controls,
In silence, it hears the untold stories of the burdened souls.

The predators prowl, the cannibals howl and thunders growl,
Yet the lonely heart remains undisturbed without a brawl.
The forlorn heart, broken apart, meditates in the wilderness
To this the nocturnal birds, the lightning bugs all bear witness.

Amidst nature the hope is greater for the tortured minds to heal,
The animals and birds, reptiles and insects all can make a deal
Not to disturb a meditating soul that wishes to forget its pains,
Jeered by men but cheered by them, the soul happily remains.
