A Reflection

A Reflection
P K Routray
The bounty and the beauty of the nature,
the scenic splendor and subtle fragrance of the flower,
supplementing the splendor of the flower, the dancing stream of water,
with birds singing and drinking to their hearts’ content the heavenly nectar,
as if each sharing each other’s joy and complimenting one another’s grandeur,
creating a musical symphony in the nature for divine to cheer,
bring ecstasy to a human heart and mind a calm, serene composure.
Let us not shout and break the divine symphony by our hatred and anger.
Observe them, contemplate a while
how tranquil everything is, while demanding a little!
Let these scenes reflect in our hearts and cleanse our mind,
set right our habit, purify our conduct and to this harmony get us aligned.
