I Befriend Nature Poem by Mohabeer Beeharry

Nature


I take six ounces of warm sun
Four ounces of blue sky
Three ounces of multiple birds songs
And three ounces of crazy flying clouds,

I mix them
I shake them.
This is my brew,
My elixir for a happy day.

I leap,
I screech in joy down the village lanes.
I vie with the bees,
Slither between tongues of spooky shades

On the spinning wheel of my mind I string threads of new born sunshine
Chasing the frenzied breeze to the hills,
And to the mountains.

Nothing stops me
Nothing can stop me!
For I am them all
And all in me, one glorious ever lasting existence!
I scream with endless exhilaration
And sing with the strumming leaves.

Who knows Nature, knows himself.
I hail Nature
I hail myself,
For Nature is my transcendental ocean,
I play in her bosom.

Let the wind blow
Letgale howl and the thunder clouds steal the sun,
Like the young spindly eucalyptus
I bend only to rise with strength and love ever more.
