Nature’s Symphony (Till You Came)
Truly, the forest is deep, dark and mysterious;The light of the dawn is breaking.
- Truly, the forest is deep, dark and mysterious;
- The light of the dawn is breaking.
- Waking up to life the flora-
- Showing its beauty and splendour.
-
- The morning dews frolic innocently,
- Dancing from leaf to leaf and swaying gently.
- Till it lands on the cascading brook below-
- So pristine and full of riverine lives.
-
- The rested birds chirp
- melodiously,
- While the animals listen.
- And they come alive-
- Cosy in their resting place.
-
- Nature’s musical symphony is in the air,
- As though it is never-ending.
- Oh! What a lovely creation! Almighty God-
- It’s a magical world! I am ecstatic.
-
- To be part of its beauty,
- Oh! It’ll be a tragic shame.
- To destroy this harmony of nature’s life-
- So enchanting and lovely.
Destroy not, but protect and preserve,
So no one will accuse you that,
Everything was lovely and beautiful-
Till you came.
