Distant Shores
IGNORED BEAUTY
Distance shores mesmerize
Look close by: Get surprise.
Things unseen far away always seem
to emit sparkling shiny beam.
Extending distant space attracts more,
calling astronauts on venture to explore.
Next neighbor to our land is ocean
getting no importance or attention.
Aquanauts are not strictly selected.
Under ocean expeditions are neglected.
One bank of river always sighs
‘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
but failed even to appreciate
amazing beauty of a dew droplet
glistening on rose petal in my garden,
which I discovered all on a sudden.
