Poem

When I am gone, I will regret expended time 
I wasted lavishly on matters less sublime. 

For too long I have been in constant motion til 
Inveterate blindfold broke loose and let me see -
World's stunning grandeur worth admiring lies standstill
In unsurpassed, bold and primal state of carefree. 

I should've paused for a second, for a minute, 
Upon majestic statue of the mountain peak, 
A mud puddle after rain with sun ray in it, 
A silent snowflake wafting chilly on my cheek. 

I should've lent my helping hand to many more, 
The poor and wretched among us predominate, 
Sweeter reward is to care than to be cared for - 
Late learnt lesson, whether acquired or innate. 

I should've called you every day because I could, 
Held you tight and tender in intimate embrace. 
Walking the earth seemed as a privilege for good, 
Along the sacred myth of ever lasting days. 

If I could only take it back for better cause - 
To lavishly admire - more often I would pause.
