Dear Readers,
'Blooming Twigs' is a tribute to nature with a handful of poems based on my impressions of its varied aspects. Nature to me is not a mute, insensate thing, but a living entity, endowed with unique attributes of beauty and wisdom. Hence, worthy of reverence and adoration.
Sharing my love of nature with you is the purpose of this collection, though only through a small number of poems. However, I am sure, going through them will make you feel like taking a pleasant trip to the wondrous world of nature.
Besides, you will also experience the cyclic round of seasons, the deadly winter chill being followed by the rejuvenating Spring; and the blazing summer, ending in cool showers of the rainy season.
From a larger perspective, you will see the endless sky, adorned with the celestial lights of the sun, the moon, and stars in multitudes, sending their positive vibes to the earth, which nature disburses among us all, without discrimination.
It goes without saying, that nature is an indispensable part of our existence right from the cradle to the grave. Her love, support, guidance and inspiration help us survive and flourish in life. we owe her immense gratitude and these verses are only a humble expression of that feeling.
While submitting these poems to be shared with you, I am tempted to quote a poem by Emily Dickinson, that might sound relevant here, at least in some respects.
This is my letter to the world
That never wrote to me, --
The simple news that Nature told
With tender majesty.
Her message is committed,
To hands I can not see,
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!
