BEAUTY

DEWDROPS 

        Distant things mesmerize
        Look close by: Get surprise.
        Those unseen far away seem
        to emit sparkling shiny beam.

         Distant space attracts more,
        calling astronauts on to explore.
        Next neighbour to our land is ocean 
        getting no special attention.

        Aquanauts are not strictly selected.
        Under ocean expeditions are neglected. 
          One bank of river sighs behind:
         ‘Happiness lies on other side.’

         Close friend may be great or saint
         Yet we search for fellow at distant.
         I traveled lot and spent time to see
         mountains, rivers, fountains, sea .

          Enchanted to see violent volcano
           Iceberg, glacier, hill top with solid snow.
           Verdant valley, meadow auburn,
              barren desert, cave and cavern.
          
           But failed even to appreciate
         blazing beauty of dew droplets
       glistening on grass blade in my garden,
       which I discovered all on a sudden.
