I was strolling through nature one day,
when I realized in my path mid-way,
what secret Mother Nature upholds,
the one which we were never told.

The melody of birds and the beauty of trees,
the aid provided by the cool, soothing breeze,
the purity and the murmuring of swift flowing stream,
the splendor of nature filled with agleam.

Where the process of continuous renewal takes place,
the ecstasy of that nature provided me with a perfect solace,
from the worries and troubles that plague daily living,
and anxiety and depression which are worth self killing.

I was captivated by all this when I discovered,
what wealth this scenic beauty to me had offered,
a wonderful essence of love and self-being,
was given to be by this aimless wandering.
