MAGNIFICENT NATURE
by Passang Gyaltsen

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
God gave us a magnificent nature
The floating clouds, the dancing springs,
The different flowers with their different colors,
The trees standing like statues
With birds singing sweet songs in their branches,
The cool breeze, the green charming hills,
The snow-capped mountains,
The rising and setting sun, the silvery moon
And the twinkling stars in the sky at night.
Even the violent types of nature,
Like the thundering clouds with flashes of lightning
And the heavy rains of the all-powerful storm,
Are beautiful in their own way.
Gradually, the mighty people devastate and distort
This magnificent nature.
How unlucky are they who cannot enjoy
And appreciate this beauty.
Nature is all around us.
At this time we have to preserve the nature.
Why? Because at this time, nature is suffering
Due to its destruction by cruel people.
I think that one day God will come back to see the nature
And God will be taken aback
By how the people have turned nature into ugliness.
God will be very angry with the people.
Therefore, we must ban the destruction of nature.
Nature teaches us the lessons
Of peace, innocence, purity, love, harmony, faith
And hope in the glory of God.
