Unnoticed

(Dedication: For Dr Ram Mehta.) Morning light Spreads divine psalm -- Touch of zest By this stone bench Sleeping cat purrs -- Feline dreamscapes That old man sits alone Strange neighbour -- Thoughtful wanderings Sadness in shock: Food court bankrupt -- Ghost town feeling Dress fitting session Bridal gowns, smart suits -- A lovely affair Just because You said so -- Let it be then Brief excursion Nowhere near -- Beyond conflict Open agenda This showpiece -- Mood swing construct Cheer wears a face Serious as glee; Smiles punctuate For many hours This wait upon -- Something new perhaps Meal time in-between Lunch and dinner -- Not quite the same Gifts freely given Notice brisk gratitude -- Thoughtful intent Style a smile Wait a while -- Cheer now piles Explore fringes Curiosity peeks -- Discovery sublime Leon Enriquez 05 June 2014 Singapore
