O Nature

Strong, yet, serene! Rough, yet, courteous! Assertive, yet, meek! 
Accommodating, yet, un-obliging! Caring, yet, cold!
Compassionate, yet, rude! Loyal, yet, decisively weak!
You're motherly and fatherly, O nature, from times old...!

You've gold, yet you're not gold! Gems you have, yet not a gem!
An amalgamation of metals, minerals, and fuels;
Physique and psyche of the universe and its brain stem;
It's from you the rich and the poor dig out precious jewels...!

O harmony! O absoluteness of beauty and peace! 
O dynamic diadem! O distinct diversity!
O origin and continuum of eternal ease! 
O advisor and comforter in each adversity...! 

In you, I live and will live as long as you let me live,
Into your hands, when you call me back, my life I will give...!!!
