A look into the mirror only reflects Face and flesh of our mortal form

This Pandemic is also a stark reminder of our dysfunctional relationship with nature

Pelting my face to a glistening ruby gleam, Rinsing my hair to a gleaming ebony sheen, Soaking my soul like nourishing comfort soups...

And ah the clouds above - White fluffy, seamless puffs Like boats sailing In some celestial sea.

In awe I read, of nature’s might and deeds, Season her faithful partner, shadowing her.

Human actions, including deforestation, encroachment on wildlife habitats, intensified agriculture and acceleration of climate change have pushed nature beyond its limits.
