In The Nature's Heart - Visitor's Poem

by Nitika Bharti
(New Delhi, Delhi, India)

Evening is the time,
it's been a bad day, surely
I am sulking in a park
sitting all alone, degenerated
suddenly though no one around
I feel I have everybody to be with:
it's the birds, the trees, the insects,
no one to play, my heart flies away with the birds,
nothing to say,
I sing along with the tiny creatures.

The park looks greener than ever now,
not just green, but lively, full of vibrance.
Some leaves though brown, some half
but still striving to survive.
Some brown grass patches
but carefully hidden by the greener ones.

With every falling leaf now,
I see it as not dead
but make way for the new.
Consciously, I look around and above
the sky looks pleasant
I find everyone: the leaves, the grass, the
flowers & the clouds
smiling away at me
as if urging me telling me
tomorrow we may not be
but the system goes on,
so why don't you?

The next gush of wind
sweeps energy into me
I stand, reluctant
I walk, confident
strides now fuller
height more taller
I walk towards destiny
to be the best as I can be.
