Creation in Verse - Ayush Bahl

A Lost Land

                             by Ayush Bahl

To those gushing waters emptying into the sea,

Cutting a path between the bunch of those coniferous trees.

As the moon's light illuminates the land,

Just a touch of nature's hand.

Where those mountains stand tall and calm,

As they brave the winds which mean no harm.

As the insects scurry in the sand,

Just a touch of Nature's hand.

O! Search the winds, search the seas,

For this land's exotic trees.

Which heaven,  what hell,

Will I find this land's welcome bell.

Lost, forgotten amongst the bones,

Forming a dream in our head's dome.

This dream,  just a fleeting thought,

Wiped away by human wrath.

While we mortals wage wars amongst ourselves,

We have forgotten where peace delves.

Nature has supported us till date,

But only one of us can survive at this rate.

My brothers and sisters, open your eyes,

Rid yourself of these foul lies.

Help us pacify mother Nature's wrath,

Or find the very prize we never sought.

We take the step of sowing our seeds,

And be ready to stand for what we reap.
