Mute Nature
But I hear you,
Your smooth silence
Mute Nature.

When a mass of dews from a leaf
Awakens your calm and vast surface,
I do listen your naughty ripples
Walk around to the banks of lake.

When a lover in beloved’s praise
Hail you loud in mountain ways,
I do stay there waiting
To listen your every echo whenever raises.

When warm air gets your leaf
To lose its withered root,
Though its falling sounds very mute
I do hear there her separation grief.

I hear all fish locking their lips
And swans in pond waving thin throats,
I found a place of deep peace sips
Soothing to my eyes where snowy couple floats.

Oh when you rain,
My homeland covers a blissful layer
Of fragrant soil and water’s blend
Then you adds your chilling winds
That touch and pass through my nostrils
Like I just feel your real incense.

You are mute, Nature
But I hear you,
Your smooth silence
Mute Nature.
