Twilight

Soft comes the hush of eventide
And songbirds hide
In limbs of budded trees
To bid farewell to setting sun
With lullabies they’ve sung
Each night for centuries.

A lark is winging swiftly home –
Black dot alone –
Beneath auroral clouds.
All nature makes a homeward rush
As twilight’s rosy blush
The eyes of night arouse.

Nature's gift

This article tells about how nature has been a gift for us.

Nature is the most precious and valuable gift to us from the God to live our life here on the earth. Nature makes our life easy by providing all the required resources for daily living. We should thankful to our nature for helping, caring and nurturing us like a mother. We can enjoy the sweet sound and scenery of the nature if we peacefully sit in the early morning in the garden. Our nature is adorned with lots of scenic beauty which we can enjoy anytime. Earth has geographical beauty and known as the city of garden or heaven. But it is sad to say that such beautiful gifts of God are declining day by day due to the technological advancement and high level of ignorance of the human beings.

Nature is like our real mother which never harms us but always nourishes us. Walking in the lap of nature in the early morning makes us healthy and strong as well as keeps us away from many lethal diseases like diabetes, chronic heart diseases, high blood pressure, liver problem, digestive system ailments, infections, brain disease, etc. It is good for our health to hear the soft sound of the birds, rattle of the breeze, sound of running fresh air, sound of running water in the river, etc in the early morning. Most of the poets, writers and people used to of yoga and meditation are seen in the early morning in the garden to re-energize their body, mind and soul.

The Destruction of Nature

Our one smile can make the day of a person and one smile of the sun can make the day of millions of people. One glass of water can fill our thirst and one rainfall can fill the thirst of nature and return back its glory. But do we now let the nature to show its glory and the sun to shine. We only let the smoke to fill our surroundings. The destruction we cause to the nature each day is equal to taking the life of a person.

Our mother earth gave us everything to fulfill our needs and now it wants one thing in return and that is its life. Can’t we do this small favour? To bring this change we need to be the change. We need to take the first step to save the nature.

SO LETS TAKE THE FIRST STEP.

Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore

Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore

This is a poem by one of the most well known poets in english of all times William Shakespeare.The poem illustrates the ravages of time.Each quatrain engages the theme in a unique way, with the destructive force of time redoubling with each successive line. Although the poet seems certain that Time's destruction is inevitable, he is nonetheless hopeful that his verse will get away with it in the end.

Like as the waves make towards the pebbl'd shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
Nativity, once in the main of light,
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight,
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
                                                                    -William Shakespeare

                                                                                   10 year's later 

               (The above scenario has already started and after few years this will be the situation everywhere)
