Poem
“Never spend your time in anticipation of a future, procrastinating and thinking that we have so much of time ahead and many more opportunities on our way. But nothing is certain, only the present time and chances. They are in our hold and are ours. Make the best use of them.” ~ By Poet With the night quickly passing by, My soul breaks into blossoms of joy. When the sun begins his solemn race, In my ears fall the birds’ hymns of praise. As the wind passes tousling my hair, With soft whisperings in my ear, I catch the strains of a Heavenly band, And feel the presence of a loving friend. Glancing on the gorgeous buds of May, Swaying in breeze that make me gay, I lose myself in the glory of creation, And fold my hands in deep veneration. When I hear the cuckoo pouring in shower, Her songs from far flung forest glade or bower, A delightful rhythm fills my space, And its fleeting cadence brightens up my face. But suddenly I sense a creeping pain, As I see a cripple staggering in strain, At a distance, I see a weeping child, Abandoned by its mother behind a thicket wild. Around me I see the homeless and the frail, Wandering aimless, tossed by life’s violent gale. Thus I see life with grim challenges of trials and strife, Where misfortune, distress and betrayal, so very rife. At times I feel my heart missing a beat, And fear the sweep of sand under my feet. This Earth often turns a blistering desert, But sure with shady oases, strewn apart. This is the irrefutable truth, for sure, That life can at once be sweet and sour. So, enjoy life when it is within our scope and scheme. Squeeze every happy moment. Carpe Diem!
