Upon The Lap Of Nature Poem by Ravi Panamanna

Upon The Lap Of Nature

Rating: 5.0


A lonesome bird
A whispering wind
A solitary cloud,
Nature is a singular scene.

A running brook
Gushing falls
Breathing woods,
Nature is a singular voice.

Endless meads
Dancing shades
A grazing cow
Nature is a singular vision.

A ploughman’s call
A melodious song
A barking dog,
Nature is a singular pulse.

A twinkling star
A silent night
A burning candle,
Nature is a singular moment.

A blossoming bud
A blissful moment
A graceful heart,
Nature is a singular mould.

A different season
A different mood
A changing hue
Nature is a singular feel.

Nature’s themes are endless,
Variety simply countless
Yet, the impact is singular,
Thy pulses are thine alone.

What is actually this Nature? Nature is our own living core. When we are on the lap of Nature, we are within our reflections. We are born out of this Nature and finally return to her elements. We owe our bodily and mental existence to these gross and subtle elements of nature. We are in eternal communion with her either consciously or unconsciously. Our core is peace and solitude. The rest is all a forced mask. This is why we turn to Nature now and then for an all round refreshment. A twinkling star, a flying bird, a passing wind, a running brook, a falling leaf, a burning candle, a silent night, a sailing cloud, a grazing cow… these present moments of glory in our life. They all represent the philosophy of our life. They boost our mental battery because on the lap of Nature, our thoughts gradually disappear and we become contemplative and meditative. Everybody needs this tonic. Nature is a beautiful lass. Nature is a good philosopher too. Let us open our eyes and ears and be ready for a floating experience!

The purport under the poem explains the contents of the poem very well. When a man integrates himself with the nature, then the nature, in its turn, takes care of him life long. His heart beats well then, he behaves well, he speaks well, he writes well and becomes a loveable personality in the society like the pleasing nature. Ravi belongs to this type of a man, I feel, from the way he writes his every poem.

The title is enchanting as is your poem. We are all living things and we are part of nature too, though each part of nature has a it's own aspect to work within a certain structure. So many people do not realize this and are cruel do not appreciate nature I think. You are a great philosopher and your poem is written in a format so easy to comprehend with a great flow. Top marks!
