Simplicity

Teach me, Nature, How to be humble Yet happy and carefree. Teach me the secrets of Being charitable like that Tree that braves the storm To shelter the birds and Squirrels, the largeness of the mountain that remains Constant and grave. Teach me the oneness Of the trees and the vines Climbing them without Dishonor, I hear the birds Chirping in unison with the Breeze, creating a sense of Déjà vu and beauty. © Apu Mondal
