Look at the tree
it has all widowed leaves
thrown away helterskelter
by autocratic autumn winds
All the coloured leaves
painted the earth with their despair
running high in souls
Look at at the streams
the sky after glancing at the dry spell
on the cultivable farm lands
welled its tears and prayed the clouds
to shower rain incessantly as much as they can on those land strips
The seeds sown long back in the soil are now sprouting with silent smiles
welcoming the ringing green tunes of spring
All the atmosphere is rather chill
with all snow flakes spreading on the grounds and on all available space
The walk as usual may be slippery
and those whispering birds in the nest greet us with warm regards
All the seasons though appear harsh in attitude initially
help us all in the environment to fare better in loving lives
Let us protect the nature with all our might
It will surely protect us with all safety and security running as twins
