Where Is Nature? Poem by Huzaifa Zoeb

Nature can inspire
But where is Nature?

From my balcony I can see trees,
Hear birds, feel the sunlight.

Earth is omnipresent everywhere-
So is the sky-
Sky beats down on baking earth
Brown crusted earth
Only the tree's shade is a relief
And water's sound as it falls.

But where is the tug-
The thrill of innocence?
The spirit that motivates to act?

Weariness replaces enthusiasm
Cloudiness replaces insight.

There is a hum in the body
That is muted with a tea.

The tea has brought on the hum
And now the tea replaces it!
