Nature

Play with nature
As it has its own tune
to entertain you.

Walk with nature
As it has its own path
laid down with beautiful flowers.

Talk with nature
As it has its own language
which you can understand through your heart.

Enjoy your life to the fullest
with nature, but
Don't dig out the crevices
it may let out poisonous gases
which harms the society
in such a way, leads to end of mankind.
