Poems  
Miracles of Nature
by TA Ramesh

Clasping the drop of rain
Closed oyster goes down to the bottom of the sea;
A rain drop developing into a white pearl
In the womb of oyster is a miracle!
Likewise many miracles of Nature
Absorb the mind of man to dream fantasies!

Miracle, trees suppressed for years in sand
Turn into a great coal mine!
Not only coal but diamonds like sapphire or emerald
Are also carbon!
High pressure and temperature
Produce precious gems in the Earth’s womb!

Greatest miracle is lives born
By the kiss of sea and sand under the Sun!
Above all man is a greatest miracle
Born from the womb of the mother!
Man, part of Nature, has become great
With the evolution of mind and spirit!

For poets, scientists and philosophers
Nature is the friend, philosopher and guide!
As to the moods of men,
Nature offers meaningful messages on various occasions;
And man learns many things from Nature
And creates many things to make life full!

Despite man’s destruction,
Nature never fails to give comfort and force of life!
That’s why I can never fail to love Nature
Though everything fails me in this world
And my life goes on
With renewed vigor, vitality and strength after noble goals!
