By Lakshmipriya U. P.
I am tired of living in big cities,
Far away from the quiet and green,
I wish to go back to mother nature,
Where the truest peace is seen.
Where the fresh breeze calms my mind,
And the song of birds refreshes my ears,
The gentle rustle of the whispering leaves
Washes away all my hidden fears.
The sun’s rays brighten my day,
The moonlight regenerates my soul,
Underneath the vast and starry sky,
I finally feel complete and whole.
I am tired of the same old routines,
From office to home and home to office,
Trapped in a world of endless noise,
Where I get no time to find my inner spirit.
I wish I could connect back to nature,
Where my soul yearns for her love and care,
To breathe the scent of the damp earth
And feel the wild wind in my hair.
The shade of big trees and the green grass carpet
Feel more relaxing to me,
Than all the gold of the concrete towers
That try to cage and bind me.
Where the rushing streams sing a lullaby,
And the mountains stand so tall and grand,
I want to walk on the winding paths
And leave behind the worries of man.
I am done with my busy, rushing life,
And all the chaos it tries to feature,
I am willing to spend the rest of my days
In the loving embrace of nature.
