Thanks To Nature
by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar

Thank you for the air we breathe in
So that we can filter out
Dust and dirt;
Thank you for the water we drink
So that we can water plants, trees,
Green roots and ruts.

Thank you for the food we eat
So that we live to save the canopy
Of man and mankind;

Bear Cubs in the Autumn Lake
by Kirsten Moreton

The water is cold but her fur is warm,

A cozy blanket I nuzzle in with my sister and brother.

As we watch the fireflies begin to swarm,

Safe from danger, on the back of our mother.

The firefly's glow like thousands of stars,

A Maternal Plea
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

In the bygone days, I held you so near,
When turquoise skies were truly clear,
And emerald valleys sparkled in the sun,
And the pristine air could hurt no one.

And aqua waters shimmered transparency,
But that was long ago, in your infancy;
When towering, lush trees grew anywhere,
While riotous blooms crowded elsewhere!

A natural piece of art
by Saleh Ben Saleh

Helpless a stump does sit suffering from decay,
on the rugged part of the hillside where loggers had cut away.
Glorious the trees did stand along the rocky ridge,
as long as the eye could see from the river to the bridge.

Time, and time again their beauty had been praised,
but the loggers saw had chopped their limbs in total disgrace.
I see a shameful reflection in the look of a saddened tree,
if only man had kept his values for all the world to see.

NOISE
by Acuda Derick

Noise all around,
From every sight and sound,
Like a symphony of chaos,
That fills the air around us.

The honking of cars,
The buzz of a guitar,
The laughter of children,
Or the bark of a dog in the garden.

A Stroke of Hypocrisy
by Kimani Hare

Destruction in the name of the Arts,

Hypocrisy eclipses the creators, for their tools burn home.

Fossil fuels for abstracts and Deforestation for novels

Sisyphus laughs at their sophomoric efforts,

For humanity blinds us under the guise of protection.

The Great Symphony
by Kirsten Moreton

The river plays forte in the great symphony.

It is rushing rapids harmonizing and singing,

with the whimpering willows cry of agony.

Performing to an audience that is ever unforgiving.

Environmental Legacy
by Aloo Denish Obiero

Our lasting legacy lies not,
In the towering stone structures,
But in,
The forests we nurture,
The oceans we safeguard, and
The skies we keep pure.

Every Breath of Air
by Aloo Denish Obiero

Every drop of water,
Every breath of air,
Every blade of grass—
Whispers the same truth:
We are but custodians of this planet,
Entrusted with its care
For generations yet to come.
