A to Z Challenge – Nature and I


Human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man – Anonymous
Man has managed to smudge most of nature’s natural picture with his murky hands. To be able to witness and experience its unblemished beauty is a rarity. Nature’s original look today, adorns layers of antiquity, as we have besmirched it beyond recognition. Man’s constant interference has sapped nature’s soul of life. Sadly, no man-made edifice can compare with the appeal of nature’s primeval visage.
Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunlight are hard to beat – Laura Ingalls Wilder
The eyes witness nature’s natural marvel
my litany of verses fails to describe its beauty.
Adorning contrasting yet complementing layers,
its unadulterated looks fill me with awe.
His creation so pristine, delights the soul.
Its rapturous beauty beguiles my senses.
Soaking in the magical exuberance,
I leave with a prayer, that the remnant virginal allure
remains untouched by man’s sullied hands.
Beautiful like the nature you love.

That’s really nice. I only see the nature that’s in Mummy’s garden. But she’s doing something called ‘rewilding’ it.

Agree. There is some beauty that you want people to stay away from because even basic changes destroy the beauty. One of the parks we love in Uganda now has a paved road. We wonder what all the wild animals think.

Exactly. So many such parks have been buried under buildings and roads. Sadly it is the same story across the cities of the world.

Your words are right on target. Nature is too beautiful and needed to continue to be mistreated as it is.

Thanks Patricia. I feel people in the governments specially need to think so before sanctioning permission for all kinds of structural construction, destroying the parks and natural habitats.
