It takes a great man not to pluck the flower but still appreciate its beauty!
It takes a pure soul to love it just by taking a glance at it, but not possess it!
Let the petals stay alive in the flowers, not decay in your palms.
Let the flower stay in its place, utmost, not in your bouquet or garlands.
Let the butterfly play with the sunflower, and the sun kiss the rose.
Let the waves of breeze gently soften your heart.
You need to open your arms wide open.
Embrace it with a gesture!
Gaze at the beauty without trying to harm it.
Not all beauty shall remain yours.
Stop owning nature and let it flow.
Because to breathe free is the process it ensures!
It takes a lonely admirer to explore the beauty of nature and dwell in it!
If not nature, then what can heal your wound?
If not the beauty you seek lies in nature, then what shall you look for?!
If not, the cries of heaven do not call you, then you can’t hear the roars of the ocean or the glance of the vastness in mountains and rocks!
Lost in nature, I seek guidance and shelter.
that I lost from the meaningless yet the meanest world and people!
Oh, nature! I am a refuge to you.
Accept me with your kind benevolence!
Let not my innocence be lost in the retail of the uptake and intake of losses and gains!
