Something from my retrospective n' poetic diaries...

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED….?

Like every other day we wake up gray
Cursing the alarm for ringing so shrill
Then drag outta bed and get on with the day
Of boring routine and a mechanical drill.

Surprises are few, happy ones close to perish
The whistle goes off to an endless race
What do we stand by? What do we cherish?
When the person who’s your friend becomes just another face..

And then suddenly when ourselves lonely we find
Drenched, shivering in the rain with the tea gone cold..
When you conclude that nothing can ever be kind
Have you ever noticed the world that you sold?

Beautiful things, have you ever noticed
Are not merely what you can keep and hold
The wonders that lie deep, you should notice
Are not always polished, they don’t always glow.

The most beautiful things in life are veiled
Beneath the wings of the feeding mother
Who soars far and high from field to field..
To provide her child with all of her gather.

The majestic sunrays piercing the dark night
Announcing the dawn of a new day
Is a gift in its own, when we absorb it all in sight
A promising new beginning expunging the gray.

The words of a friend, his contagious laughter
The sweet tears shared when he’s in pain
Feeling there’s nothing else worth running after
Such beautiful things know of joy as well as the tortuous lane.

The raindrops lined on the edges of the leaves
Glowing like diamonds and defining beauty
The rainbow so perfect, the admiring heart heaves..
And then we drench in relief of sheer purity.

The smile of a student, when you’re the teacher
A baby curling his tiny fingers around a single one of yours
Have you ever noticed how the world hates a preacher..
Yet I say anyway, doing good and helping needs no cause.

So learn to notice the small things around thee,
Imbibe it, grow to love and learn to be free..
On the most beautiful thing you may not agree..
But the most beautiful thing is all you can really be.
