Furious nature
Run, run came voice from distance
Could not find out where form as instance?
May be I was in deep and fast asleep
Heard simple a sound of cloak and beep
Bed simply shook with full swing
As if it got speed and sudden wing
Shouted in sleep as mighty king
Who is pulling me to get in the ring?
Heard heavy foot steps running down
Sensed as if I was loosing crown
Something wrong with no reply received
Danger seemed nearby as fear perceived
Sky was lit with red sun shine
Heavy wind blew with rhythm fine
No time to witness the fury of nature
All ran towards for passage and safety for future
Earth quake, earth quake filled air with sirens
Ambulances rushed for help with concerns
No one knew what was happening
Nature was turning hostile and sharpening
I thought of jumping from the top floor
Did not care to see back and close the door
Wife was already down but came with big cry
Had curse for leaving me behind and why?
Found whole building was shaking like tower
Watched we helplessly without any power
Few might have saved life in time
Death totally high in locations prime
Sea waves surged high and dashed the shores
Not sparing boats, life and anchors
Nature was high furious in its height
Earth too was heavily burdened with weight
We have extracted enough from her belly
Now it is her turn to change into Death Valley
We have gone for only wealth and money
Has tolerated enough now no scope for honey
Earth and nature substitute as caring mother
Why we should treat then as any other?
So much vacuum and inside the layers
Nothing can help but only prayers
We have tested enough her tolerance
Can we not draw any lesson or inference?
Would there be any solutions in the conference?
Still world will not wake and have only difference
We witnessed fury with close shave
Fortunate were those who could save
Nature may spread the wing and wave
You have no option but to submit and cave

Spare Us
It blinded me with almost brightness
There was nothing to suggest in its greatness
It was unique phenomenon and experience
It had clear message with its variance
The sky thundered with loud explosion
As if bombs were exploding with implosions
No sound can be heard but its impact felt
It was heating severely below the belt
I could guess some thing unnatural was in offing
May be in the form of some natural disasters
May be sky was to generate heavy radiation
Scorching heat to burn everything with suffocation
What was the indication of bright flash?
Was it the panic signal sent with rush?
There was use beating round the bush
One had to move fast with quick push
It reminded me of the warning and forecast
World was on the brink of disaster and extinction
No one can save it from the fury of the nature
Can this really happen with mankind In future?
Rivers in spate were at dangerous with current flow
Sea was raising its present level as if to swallow
Earth was cracking to daze everything to ground
I could hear the loud bang in bright flash with big sound
My cot was shaking with full vibration
I was in deep sleep with no sign of life as an indication
It was shout from all over that it is severe earth quake
Every one rushed to the open ground very quick(ly)
I was bolted from out side as others had made the way
Many jumped from high rise building without any say
Earth was shaking with vibration to destroy in seconds
I shouted for help but none could come including friends
It was spell of complete disaster with His approval
It had spell bound devastating effect on its arrival
Nothing was going right as it had played its role
Cry deaths and almost dead peace from soul
Many might have experienced such rude shock
It is sure that nothing can remain solid as rock
It has to fast disintegrate as never existed before
It is basic fact that has come to the fore
It is awakening call and truce signal from nature
All out efforts to be nature friendly and to secure
Possible alignment with nature and its environment
Some concrete move to prepare and seize the moments
Nature itself is not permanent in nature
It has so much to offers us for future
We may be playing with our own fate
Still nothing can be considered as early or late

Another Huge Earthquake
Another huge Earthquake in Java and thousands are missing and dead
Just one angry outburst of Nature leaving millions of people in dread
Of another mighty earth tremor the fear it is real and widespread
Of the destructive power of our Earth Mother so much has been written and said,
Another huge Earthquake to talk of the anger of Nature no human structure can hope to withstand
Once great buildings left in huge piles of rubble as if they were castles of sand
Built by children on the beach at low tide that at high tide were washed out to sea
So great is the power of our Earth Mother and not one as mighty as she,
All of life lives off of Mother Nature and of her power we are aware
And though Nature can kill thousands of people Mother Nature is never unfair
People come and go like the Seasons but Nature she lives on and on
And she will be around forever though all present life forms may be gone
But she will create new life forms and Nature is forever more
And the stream from the hill will flow down to the river that flows to the great ocean shore.

You Hear Nature's Voice
You hear Nature's voice in the river that ever flows on towards the sea
A voice destined to live forever that has lived for untold centuries
From the foothills of the high country it babbles downhill night and day
By groves and by ditches and hedgerows to saltwater it winds it's way.
You hear Nature's voice in her birdsong their music carrying in the breeze
The sounds that the freshening winds make rustling in the leaves of the trees
Some of the happier sounds of Nature though to Nature there's another side
When Nature she shouts out her anger all others from her seek a safe place to hide.
When Nature she grows very angry the fear of the World is in her cry
She shakes the Earth flattens great buildings she roars and her lightning flashes in the sky
She crackles when her forests burn leaving blackness and smoke everywhere
With the power of Nature in a fury none other can hope to compare.
You hear Nature's voice in all Seasons Winter, Spring and Summer and Fall
And you hear Nature's voice in the night-time when her nocturnal creatures do call
Nature's voice will live on forever 'tis something not destined to die
As Nature herself does not have a time span as such are for mortals such as I.

Thirteen Lines
A brain peered through stoic eyes;
Yet all it saw was rendered into
Flawed interpretation –
No honoured contemplation of a
Gluon, muon, quark of any flavour;
Nor a vision or conception of its world
Within a universe anthropic in its physical laws,
Inside a boundless multiverse.
All it gleaned and modelled
Bore parochialism well beyond belief! –
Delusional perhaps.
Survival only matters here on planet Earth –
Evolution saw to that.

Nature's Sellout
Nature's Sellout
By Lori Triggs
Copyrighted August 26,2009
A sprinkling of sunshine to sellout on the plants
While mother nature wrapped up in her shawl,
She is watching nature’s splendors around her...
It really is a paradise:
A paradise of mother nature
From earths dust on nature’s crust.
The dewy drops on mushroom caps
Are nothing less than mother nature tears,
From rolling laughter... it’s perhaps:
Mother nature with claps of thunder with lighting.
Are mother nature tears throughout the years
The crystal glow in woodland streams.
Reflects the light of mother nature
Instead of sunshine, as it seems,
When mother nature showers fall to earth:
When mother nature falls to the earth.
It seems like sunshine on the streams
The twinkling in the starry sky.
Is nothing less than mother nature
That interrupt the flares on high,
The glow of nature’s moonlit blinks:
The moonlit blinks are mother nature
That twinkle high in starry sky.

Nature the Guardian of Earth's Beauty
Nature Nature Nature
The thing that has made every creature.
It’s in the sun in the sky
And not to forget the birds that fly.
Nature is the guardian of Earth’s beauty
& protecting it is our duty.
Nature is the eternal power in the universe
But pollution today is a human curse.
Without nature Earth would be Black & White
How many of us would love such a sight ?
We must get everything going right
It’s a matter that should not be taken light.

The Ways Of Nature
Never seen a musk duck or little grebe on land in water they seem happy to stay
They are water birds in the true sense since that seems their natural way
Can't even say I have seen them flying though 'tis said they do fly by those in the know
I have so much to learn about Nature and my wonder of her only grow
One could live for hundreds of centuries and of Nature not know everything
She is amazing our Earth Mother and her praises one cannot help but sing
I've never witnessed foxes mating though like all canines they do mate
Perhaps at night under the cloak of darkness in heavy cover they copulate
Their cubs the proof of their secret meetings whilst the Human world is asleep
The Wildborn creatures of Nature their secrets from us they do keep
The unrivalled beauty of Nature we see around us everywhere
But she guards her secrets with secrecy and with us them never will share
And so much to love about in Nature the artists and writers she inspire
And of singing the Earth Goddess praises I do feel one never could tire.

Leave Nature's Resources With Nature
I'm one of the many who does love Nature though Nature does need every friend
Of late she is not looking healthy otherwise why should we pretend
That all is well in Nature's Garden when all is not well there at all
Our crimes against Nature are many and any crime against Nature not small.
For our senseless polluting of Nature the price yet may be huge to pay
To our Earth Mother the one who does feed us we act in a disrespectful way
We pollute our natural environment with the resources we steal from Earth Mother that does not seem clever to me
Leave Nature's precious resources with Nature at least that is how it should be.
Humankind as a species quite successful that does go without any doubt
Yet when I say to some we are not friends of Nature they say to me what are you on about
They see no wrong in digging up the ground for it's resources or stealing oil from the floor of the sea
They are entitled to their opinions though we all look at things differently.
The Polar ice caps slowly melting and climate change is Worldwide
the talks of an Economic Depression have pushed Global warming to the side
But the financial economy is built on Nature and to Nature all of us belong
And 'twould seem in our dealings with Nature that we have our priorities wrong.

Haiti
Can we learn any lesson from Haiti?
Is it Almighty’s curse or pity?
Are we prepared to pay heavy price?
Will we not change and be very nice/
How many 9/11 or Haiti will take place/
Seems nature is in fury and in race
To wipe out complete out look or face
Not a single thread will be left to trace
We are digging our own grave
No solutions but putting front brave
Inviting troubles for unnatural acts
These are known and emerging facts
Earth is deprived of gases and becoming hollow
Creating vacuum which does not allow
Earth to retain its original solid structure
Burdening self with deep holes and fracture
Gas emission is alarmingly exceeding
Sky is loosing layer from shielding
Rivers are inspire and not receding
Air is polluted and diseases spreading
Many islands may disappear in times to come
Rise of sea level is matter of concern and not welcome
Pretty small things drive the population to starvation
It is not far that we may face soon complete annihilation
Palaces and buildings will come down like pack of cards
No warning signal or timely help can come forward
It will be over in no time or in split of seconds
We may rush for help but only to witness the wounds
Thousands have lost the lives and perished
Life is at stand still and almost finished
Chances for survival are simply diminished
Nature’s second onslaught may be accomplished
Are we to live under pressure and constant fear?
Consequences of cruel nature and burnt to bear
Eyes filled with agony and tears
No hope for future and deserted faces to wear
It is humanity call to rush to their aid
No lip words or hollow gestures to be paid
Show of solidarity and sympathy words to be said
Respect to dead and proper wreath to be laid
We can mourn the death and express sorrow
Build the foundation for better tomorrow
All sources to be used even if to borrow
Precautions and measures strictly to follow
Tragedies and incidences may soon be forgotten
We may run the show on same pattern
Nothing to learn from our past mistakes
Depleting complete sources as water from lakes
We must think seriously end playing with nature
We got to take steps to protect our bright future
Future generation may not pardon us for our crime
What are we going to give them for their time?

An untold misery
Sky is over cast and covered with clouds
Free journey from one end to another with sound
”Still we are not done” and ready to rain heavily
You must receive and welcome us happily
We are not guided now by four seasons
So many factors contributing with reasons
It is unwarranted change but we are helpless
We move and deplete the weight more or less
We are over shadowed by compelling reasons
All gaseous emissions have been forced on
It is playing havoc with all natural systems
Our flow on earth is spoiling roots and stems
It is causing concern and destruction
No one seems to be following the instructions
No one is immune from following the pattern
This should be biggest problem and concern
Any obstruction to nature’s law may cause
Unbearable losses with long spell or pause
It is choice between survival and deaths
Though you may be following with good faith
Any temporary obstruction is understandable
Mankind is very much aggressive and capable
Any play against nature may prove fatal and decisive
The perseverance of nature must be on high scale or massive
The land is giving in against natural holocaust
The earth shield is lost with continuous blasts
It is feared the earth may cave and will not last
The natural wealth is loosing very fast
The desert is witnessing unseasonable rain and hailstorms
As if nature is furious and seriously warns
No snowfall in enough quantity where it used to be in abundance
There is unusual scene without any precedence
Still time has not run out and enough time is there to address
There will be unimaginable tragedy and permanent duress
We are forewarned number of times in anticipation
Still it is not up to mark to protect the inhabitation
Unseasonable change may bring untold misery
We can do it as certain things are totally unnecessary
This adds to agony and natural calamities
It is at dangerous to protect the lives and entities
We are emitting poisonous gases
Untold diseases with innumerable cases
Not only earth is polluted but rivers as well
No one will be left for stories to tell
We are all gifted with mind to think
We must take steps before it sinks
We can minimize the hazardous level at least
Some of the steps must be included in the lists
It is noble cause
Benefited for nature’s use
We survive to sing nature’s glory
What else can be the best story?

Man and Nature
MAN AND NATURE
Man trying
to reach the zenith
of the Realms of Science.
supposes
he's the Master of Seismology-
with gadgets,
Seismometer,
Seismograph,
Geo-Net / net-work of Seismic stations etc;
to detect
even the chiliad whispers
of the rumbling shake
under the Earth's crust.!
But his satellites and computers
fail to calculate
even the major displacements
of the tectonic plates
of the Seismic quakes
in the bowels of the Earth! .
He has devices
to measure
by the Richter scale—
a logarithmic scale(base 10)
the rate and amount of energy
an earth-quake releases.
Magnitude of(8) earth-quake
equal to detonating 6 million tons of TNT
often assaults mankind!
It's a wonder! .
Only after the on-set of the quake
this phenomena of Nature
gets registered
by Man's sophisticated instruments.
He can ne'er fully comprehend Nature!
Birds fly frenetically
animals are distraught
insects too respond to the distress—
All creatures experience Nature's big sigh
as they are one with it!
Man's interference with Nature
his meddling on its domains
make prediction of earth-quakes
a will-o'-the-wisp.
Despite his myriad instruments
Man is behind all creatures;
For he has cut his links with
Nature!

Simple alarm
It is not simple alarm or aimless signal
It coveys powerful message in original
If we don’t wake up to the distress call
Buildings and palaces will collapse and fall
Not a single human being will survive
Return of cold age with no sign of life
Nature seems turning against with fury
We can’t afford to be silent with luxury
Epic centers change their position
It seems this is beginning or transition
We may not believe in superstition
We can’t shun our eyes to the real composition
Millions loose their lives with sudden tragedy
Houses get destroyed as if to look as comedy
We watch it helplessly with no voice to rise
Accept the fate as it may not remain as surprise
It is not the quake alone that plays havoc
Earth is torn apart at many places or in block
Situation may arise when continents may submerge
New world map may appear as reality or emerge
We stand no chance to enjoy real nature
Many birds may not have habitat in future
No green grass for animals to graze
Sun rays may be all set to put everything ablaze
Whole world is reeling under severe cold
Miseries have increased many many folds
Cold waves sweep entire areas of globe
Who can stop this fury is only last hope?
Nothing can convince the world leaders
Only strong opinion can be asserted by readers
We should come forward with one voice
Except to raise the banners, we have no choice
Opinion or no opinion, we must come forward
This can be considered as real work for no reward
World may be saved from near extinction
We should have clear goal in mind without distinction

As I ventured to the Wood
As I ventured to the wood,
I stopped to draw on dewy air; let
Droplets shimmer in my hair, that
Rested on my tranquil head – as
In a sense of cosy bed.
As I ventured to the wood,
A gesturing cuckoo perched above,
And then in song with cooing dove,
‘You're welcome’, bade he, ’Enter please
To roam our land with gentle breeze.’
As I ventured to the wood,
A fallow deer of limpid eye
Gave care to glance at lucky I.
The heavenly aura 'bout her glow had
Charmed me, like a fine Bordeaux.
As I ventured to the wood,
A dazzling flower waved her face
In blazing show of dance and chase, and
Reddened bright in shade of dawn, she
Flirted like a prancing fawn.
As I ventured to the wood,
A butterfly had graced my arm,
And knowing I bid him no harm, he
Splayed for me hypnotic wing in
Colours for to urge me sing!
As I ventured to the wood,
The radiant sun shone down on me.
He flushed and beamed ‘I say to thee,
You bless your land; be filled with pride, and
Cherish e’er yon countryside! ’

Swing High, Sweet Child.
When you awake,
Do you smell the fresh air?
When you arise,
Do you rejoice your sacred life?
Nature's tree,
Standing tall, looking in a fixed stare,
Nature's wind,
Cutting away, sharp as an blood stained knife,
Swing high sweet child,
The Earth is here forever,
Swing low little darling,
Watch as the branchs sway,
Nature's sea,
Will seize to be drained,
Nature's Rock,
Rejoices in a sweet symphonic praise
When you die,
Will you miss the fresh air?
When you fall,
Will you forget the true beauty of life?
Nature's tree,
Will continue to stand and stare,
Nature's wind,
Will continue cutting, this time a clean knife.

Close the eyes
We may face onslaught and not survive
If no timely action is taken or efforts revived
Nature may not spare us for committed sin
We may have complete loss and situation no win
Glaciers are melting with sudden spate in rivers
Havoc, destruction loss of precious lives all over
Progress may be around but not to rejoice
No one can claim prosperity with single voice
Do we want compete disaster and annihilation
No fresh air but only poison for inhalation
Nature striking at will with deadly weapons
We watch helplessly ………………
We are polluting air with deadly gases
Ground water depleting with heavy access
No one seems to be worried and tense
We have gone berserk with loss of sense
We never heard of tsunami or typhoons before
So many natural calamities and disasters come to fore
Earth quakes and floods have become scene of the day
Nature may not spare us, making hell everyday
Do we need prosperity at cost of eco balance?
Can’t we see disasters without using lance?
Have we to wait for till last day to come?
Is it acceptable to mankind and always welcome?
We may have to close the eyes and prepare for worst
Who may bear brunt or disappear first?
Future generation may not forgive and forget
Let us build new concept before it is too late
Sea is loosing charm and creatures disappear
Land also not spared and heavily bears
Sky is already with full of aimless objects
Nothing will be left on earth but only rejects
Sea may rise with tidal waves and strike
Cities may be wiped out …………..
Earth may bear deserted look with no sign or trace
Future historians may write with loss of face

Nature Destroys Nature
Nature destroys Nature in storms and earthquakes
Man destroys man on the battlefield
And man destroys Nature because of the blood that they shed
Sinks, to the center of the Earth
Man destroys Nature far more worse
Than Nature destroys it’s self
Therefore we must do
What we can
To save Nature
Before it’s completely destroyed
And therefore,
Leaving us with nothing to cherish.

Man v/s Nature
There are two living things on this earth,
Man and Nature whom god has given birth.
Man consists of human beings,
Nature consists of Flora and Fauna which are the King and Queen.
Nature and Man are fighting to receive the title of most powerful,
This conflict is very dreadful.
Earth’s destroyers are Man and Nature,
These both have become cruel creatures.
Nature is destroying Man,
And Man is putting on Nature – a ban.
Oh! Almighty take from Man and Nature your good wishes and boon,
Otherwise, they will destroy Earth soon.

Mother Nature She Rules
For her actions Mother Nature is above any blame
Since she always treats life and death as the same
The dead of the World in her bosom lay
And she goes on living and night follows day.
Mother Nature she dons her green cloak of the Spring
And in her leafy woods nesting birds chirp and sing
The life that she gives one day she will receive
And for her dead children she never does grieve.
For to sustain us on Nature we must depend
Yet Nature is one who does not need a friend
She will live without us when the life from us gone
Forever and ever she keeps keeping on.
Her Seasons they come and her Seasons they go
And her streams and her rivers to her oceans flow
And from the Earth's most northern to the most southern shore
Mother Nature she rules and will forever more.

Gaia’s Plan
Please, don’t sweep the leaves away –
Their essence gives to life’s decay.
Never hack the flowers down –
Their colours bless the laughing clown.
Now why the mowing of the lawn?
The severed grass will lie forlorn.
Let our flora live undressed,
Or under Man, will toil repressed!
I, the tree of standing still –
Erect and proud, and stout of will,
Aglow with motley bark of earth –
Advance my roots for all they’re worth,
Internalising Nature’s bowels
To snag the devil, tweak his jowls
And pull his hairs from whence they grow!
I’ll destroy his pagan show
Of Homo sapiens’ disrespect!
The humble ape must reconnect
With Gaia’s plan!

Sonnet: Don’t Blame Nature
Why challenge Mother Nature, man, in vain?
Accept her superiority and pow’r;
One can’t traverse with equal speed each lane;
Take blame for every flood, wind, drought and show’r!
When hot, the excess steam must be let off;
When cold, one needs to cover to gain heat;
When Nature’s in a furious mood, don’t scoff;
Find solutions better and don’t retreat.
When Nature sends a breeze, man loves her touch;
When Nature blows a wind fierce, men rant, rave;
Yet, Nature balances her acts so much;
From natural disasters, man ought to save.
Align with Nature: Love the way she works;
But cursing God brings man more Nature’s jerks!
