Beauties of Nature

Ecological paradigm of beauty to save Mother Earth.

Wide areas of coral reefs have been devastated
     by destructive fishing and global warming,
     pollution from cities, farms and factories,
     erosion and siltation, illegal gathering;  
come to the rescue before they're all wasted.
 

Do you have a Green Thumb?  
     If  you have a vegetable garden:
     Flowering plants for your sala,
     Herbals for practical cure,
     Trees that give fruits and shade,
     Abode of many organisms, 
     Buffer to noise, dust and wind;
     A garden of peace, music and prayer,
     A piece of the Lost Eden regained.
You have indeed a Green Thumb.

Do you hear the sea in a seashell?
- the incessant waves,
- tides that come and go
- lilting laughter of children,
- frolic of picnickers on the beach, 
- songs of whales and dolphins,
- splash of flying fish and tortoise,
- growl of an angry sea,
- calm after the storm -    
Through the seashell to the cranium
to the heart and soul.

What is the secret of beauty? is often asked,
In contests, parlors, gyms, and the hall;
designed by entertainment and industry,
true beauty deep inside outshines all.   

Beauty sought after, elusive, never fulfilled;
Cosmetics superficial, affront to creation;
Beauty to one, not the same to another,
Yet common to all Nature's own version.~
