She's unparalleled in beauty,
She bears our callous ills,
She adds colours to each day,
Hers is a glory way.

She mirrors grace,
A recipient of our rat race,
She’s a harbinger of hidden treasures,
She trestles the bridge to redemption.

She calls out to us,
In the stillness of our mind, she speaks,
We're too occupied to hear & sometimes ignore, 
We journey through an eerie door.

We have overburdened her,
Her hands grow feeble,
She’s listless and frail,
She has become our hauling car.

Let’s awaken to her plight,
Rekindle her dimming light,
Mother nature is priceless,
In her is room for everyone.
