NATURE
Nature is so beautiful like a virgin
With paints and pen bowing to its splendour
Radiating great sights like the morning sun
Piercing the imagination with unending words

Sights of the undulating mountains
Arranged like the army on parade yet never at ease
Heavy waters pouring down from the air
Threatening with fire and thunder to empty its basin

Great sights have fallen into my lamp
Sapiens dancing in the forests
Birds chanting beautiful tunes
Rivers rushing into the ocean like a threatened thief to his heels

My heart cries for sights never beheld and my feet never to feel
For mountains I will never climb and seas I will never see
For beautiful streets, I will never walk and roads never rode
Little can my eyes see amidst the forest of sights
I appear blind to the arts.
