“Dear Nature” - By Bhumika Raikote of BA Second Year

Dear Nature,

I want to be your friend,

I want to share everything with you,

All the sour, sweet and bitter days.

I know, I can have a human friend—

Who can hear me and understand me,

But they aren't good listeners as you,

Not that empathetic as you,

They can just hear me, not heal me.

The feel of the wind, hug me

The rain drop, wipe me 

The blooming flowers, strengthen me 

The greenery of trees—

Give tranquility to my soul.

You heal me, alone you—

Without any conditions,

Will you be my friend?

Nature — I am your friend.
