Early morning when I sit with my chai,
The bird outside seems to say hi!
I wonder if its asking me-how was your night?
Did you sleep well- cosy and tight?
Thank you dear birdie for your chirpy care,
These little gestures are precious fare.
Consistent thoughtful actions are a relationship glue,
A balm, a cool breeze that can drive away the blue(s).
Nature has so much to teach,
It does not lecture or preach,
Can seamlessly our heart reach,
And appeal uniquely to each.
The tall trees remain grounded,
Longevity dependent on deep roots and with what they are surrounded.
All can take shelter and rest,
Yet, no egos to claim superiority are on test.
The water in oceans and lakes is also in flow,
Unconcerned with creatures that come and go.
The principle is mutual harmony,
Not claims, strifes or acrimony.
