Nature has written a worthy essay
on the barren face of the soil.
Put hope in the hearts
and smiles on the lips
of those who sweat and toil.
Verdant exclamation marks,
paragraphs of green –
the sky a beauteous back-cloth
on which the words can lean.
Clustered, scented flowers,
the wonder of a rose –
all these and more combine to make
the very essence of its prose.
