Poem - Green Nature Is Our Mother

Green Nature Is Our Mother
Tanvir Mostafa


Beauteous pictures carved in the bosom of nature,
As if they were engraved by the hand of a creator.
The natural elegance is fixed so exquisitely that one can’t help being glad,
Among the nature wooers, I am one—forever mad.

Provided I find a natural site anywhere, at least I struggle to sojourn,
Nature calls me gently, and I always return.
Nature is divine, nature is lustrous and she is green,
I foster a yearning in the lap of nature if I could always have been.

Perhaps it could be if I was born in pastorally painted June,
I could have been brought up under my own mother and nature mother’s tune.
