Let Nature Heal

Oh how I miss the sand and water slipping from between my toes

How I miss the sea kissing my feet and leaving me yearning for more!

The cool, calm waters of the sea, the breeze fleeing through my hair

The wet sands sticking to my clothes, the moist, salty air,

Oh how miss being a part of Mother Nature!

Oh how the times have changed,

The “free” humans are in cage

And the birds are flying free.
Cuckoo's melody is louder than the passing traffic,

The air is purer, the leaves are greener,

Animals are coming out of hiding,

Even Ozone hole is closing up,

Nature is healing, can’t you see?

Maybe humans were the only problem all along

We overstepped our boundaries by long.

We did not realize we are so little

And that Nature is not so brittle.

Today I saw life happening, a crow chick cracking its egg

Amidst all the despair, that tiny thing made my day.

It gave me hope that when it’s all over

Earth might just be a little better!

I will get to see the mountains, explore the seas again, it’s just a matter of time,

It’s like Mother Nature has hit pause and plugged in for some me time!

It will do us so much good to stay in now,

Be at home, let this phase wash over,

Fight this virus today, it will be all good tomorrow!!
