NATURE BOWS TO GOD

Natural

Nature heeds God’s command, fulfilling His demand. It complies with full might against delaying blight. Such is shown by rain fall, dropping down along wall, cascading from heaven; or wind blowing, proven to humble trees down---breaking great buildings’ crown, always yielding with best to the Creator’s test. One great gift of nature showing obedience-venture is sun with its bright rays, warming well our great days, welcoming vibrantly… marked by mirth joyously midst photosynthesis at work to meet crisis, vanquishing food shortage for human’s advantage toward blest gratitude and praise-filled attitude. I do believe this fact, affirming nature’s act: yielding to divine will with each role to fulfill. So, when flash floods occur and then heat waves recur, who or what should be blamed? To answer, I’m ashamed… since nature does what’s right for mankind’s delight. Human nature must face that truth with meekness-brace.

Visual

Nature heeds God’s command
fulfilling His demand.
It complies with full might
against delaying blight.
Such is shown by rain fall
dropping down along wall
cascading from heaven
or wind blowing, proven
to humble trees down---
breaking great buildings’ crown,
always yielding with best
to the Creator’s test.

One great gift of nature
showing obedience-venture
is sun with its bright rays
warming well our great days
welcoming vibrantly…
marked by mirth joyously
midst photosynthesis
at work to meet crisis,
vanquishing food shortage
for human’s advantage
toward blest gratitude
and praise-filled attitude.

I do believe this fact,
affirming nature’s act:
yielding to divine will
with each role to fulfill.
So, when flash floods occur
and then heat waves recur,
who or what should be blamed?
To answer, I’m ashamed…
since nature does what’s right
for mankind’s delight.
Human nature must face
that truth with meekness-brace.

I think visual is so much prettier the way it's formatted than the natural part. I think this form is difficult, so I guess I will not be doing it!

Have you ever thought how absurd it is that, we as a species can differentiate between “natural” and so-called “Man-made” forgetting the absolute fundamental truth that “we” are too an indivisible part of nature? Such is “Man”’s ego! The plight’s laughable, also shamefully pitiful… Amazing poem. Beautifully penned! :) Regards :) Shubham
