A Walk In Nature
As I tread on the path,
The endless path that stretches out like eternity,
I embark on a journey
To discover the mysteries and marvels of nature.
Up in the sky,
The Sun shines in grace,
Clouds reveal a joyful face,
Birds soar and twitter in gay.
Down on the ground,
Ants work like workaholics,
Squirrels scamper here and there,
Shed leaves beautify the entire place.
The waterfall pours large squirts of water
That sparkle like gold,
When they beat on the surface of the pool below
They splatter and shower me with hope and joy.
The tall trees grow strong and healthy,
Blossom with flowers as they thrive and live.
The overstretching thick branches shade the grass,
Protect the animals,
Shelter the kids,
And tower over me.
A walk in nature
Unveils the beauty of the world,
Making me realize
Mother Nature is the home-place to everything!
Epilogue:
I was inspired to write this poem the moment I saw the photo of the meandering pathway, when browsing through the collection of photos taken during the trip. I then imagine how one can discover the ‘secrets of nature’ by walking through this pathway, for instance the beautiful waterfall, or perhaps the lively happenings, among living organisms, on the trees. Therefore, this poem presents the beauty of nature. It tells us that Nature is not just about, green trees, pretty flowers and other physical landscapes, but also animals, tiny insects, the sky or even human beings. In fact, Nature is where everything on earth belongs to. Just as how William Wordsworth was inspired by daffodils, I was inspired by the serenity and loveliness all around, in the Botanical Garden. Moreover, this poem portrays how man is connected to the surroundings. Little boys and girls play merrily under the shade of trees; sheets of water gives a sense of coolness which makes people feel refreshed and relaxed. Hence, the poem is written to encourage people to enjoy, appreciate the natural occurrences in Nature and be more passionate to find out more about the wonders of Nature.
