Born Free

 The dawn breaks with the cuckoo's cry 

The breeze blows away leaves long dried. 

In Your grace, the planet survives, 

In rejuvenation and newborn sprite.

The birds chirp, nestling their chicks. 

Somewhere in the silence, a puppy squeaks; 

The Earth is healing in our sight 

From everything wrong we did for might.

To Mother Nature's flowers and trees. 

Fired forests and animals forced to flee, 

To all the innocent birds and bees 

We didn't care enough to see.

No honks no smog, no human in sight, 

Empty roads and clear skies, 

See how tables turn so fast, 

All your mighty endeavours barely last.

Alone and trapped Mankind shivers, 

While You bring relief 

To all of Earth's silent givers.

~ Suranya
