There are a lot of things that are left to ponder,
They will always keep you in a state of wonder,
All that’s required is to let your mind and body to wander,
Look for something in nature that will spark your fervour,
This is a hobby that you can have at any time of the year,
Age is not an issue, whether you are older or younger,
All that’s needed are your attentive eyes and ears,
An open mind to accept whatever nature offers,
From the balcony gardens to protected habitats that you can reach,
Look out for the mysteries and lessons that nature can teach,
Each member of the flora and fauna has their own stories to tell
You will be amazed to watch how they survive and propagate so well,
It is wonderful to find a new species to inspect,
You never know in what mesmerizing journey they will direct,
When staying at home became a compulsion,
These new discoveries rekindled many people’s childhood passion,
Observing nature was a habit as a child,
Which we give away to gadgets and the box without a mind,
There is still time if you want to have fun,
In the lap of nature, under the sun…
