Nurtured By Nature Poem by VIJAY KUMAR ROY

Nurtured by Nature,
I learnt to bear the scorching of summer,
harshness of winter
and swimming in the face of the current.
Engrossed in the task of Truth,
I see different forms of Goddess Durga
in some women, and the smile of Lord Vishnu
in every leaf of the peepal tree.
They all make Beauty- my guardian
and Love- my inmate
whose company bridges
the delight of celestial and terrestrial.
