We Are More, In This Landscape Of Life!
A conscious prayer on this World Environment Day
In this landscape of life, We are … This and More!
This land, in a constant state of birth These roots, in a quest of gravity The stars, in a journey through patterns The clouds, in a hug without rest The mountains, in a state of calm The rivers, in a vigour of emotions The birds, in a flight of freedom The blossoms, in a curiosity of colours The fish, in a mystery of breath The air, in a prayer of contemplation The grass, in an embrace of willpower The rocks, in a curiosity of resilience The existence, in an unwavering pirouette of acceptance
We admire each and every canvas of nature; The sublime sunset, The glaciers of time, The oceans of clarity, But covert our gallant luxuries into transparent needs of life.
We wish to touch upon the unseen; The harbinger in a Rhododendron The elegance in a Monal The roar of a Lion But we count our progress through the reflections screaming in the glass skyscrapers.
We dream to travel deeper and create memories Echo our silence through the mountains Sing our peace through the snowflakes Dance our abandon through the forest But we move as the thoughtless owners of environment, untuned to the symphony.
The soil that grounds us, Recreates life churning with the burning lava.
The valleys that echo stories of time, Rearrange the narrative held in the meanings of the void.
The rainbows that build hope, Reflect our ideas beyond the limitedness of the concrete walls.
The streams that gurgle in the rigours of emotions, Rewrite the song between the myriad creations.
The trees that grow with curiosity, Redo the connections between broken needs and blooming desires.
The breeze that chants love and peace, Rekindles the breath to pause and dwell on our relation with existence.
The butterflies that dance to the light of the forest, Regenerate the rhythm linking our heartbeat to the rotation of the earth.
Restore the harmed balance Rethink the painted paradigm Rebuild the blessings gradually Reimagine the thoughtful living Relive the ephemeral beauty Reiterate the scarred narrative Reciprocate the benevolence with gratitude Readdress your feelings towards what make us Realign the self to something more than you and me
In this landscape of life We are the infinitesimal specs, Embodying the nature we wish to be.
Be you. Be more. Be alive.
