Beneath the blue sky,
covered in dark clouds,
a cold wind carries fragrance—
sharp sweat drops fall.
A drop lands—
right on my cheek,
soft, earthy scent,
keeping me distant,
as the rain falls shyly.
Noisy white chicks—
small, yet mighty in their contribution,
nature seems calm, yet joyful,
as if it’s smiling.

Theme
The poem explores the subtle beauty of nature through sound, scent, and sensation.

The contrast between the calm environment and the joyful noise of chicks reminds us of nature’s balance between silence and song.

Poet’s Reflection
“I wrote Whispers of Nature while watching clouds gather over my hometown. That moment made me pause and listen—not just with ears, but with my heart. The scent of the earth, the touch of the rain, and the sound of birds made it feel like nature was speaking softly to me. This poem is my way of preserving that feeling.” — Imran Bhatti
