Green Lessons

Sometimes
Nature teaches.

Some ,
dome shaped,
calling you for namaaz;
Some
tall tower above
a temple
central sanctum
praying
and
rising to the heavens;
A pontiff,
hands outstretched
looking up
beseeching the Lord;





And
way to the right,
a congregation ,
a motley group,
a mixture
of all styles,
so enthused,
that
God, for them,
lies in the Green
of the Earth :
to worship,
preserve,
and protect....
