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. 06/20/18 Edited on 05/12/20 HM ' STRAND No.750 'Contest by Brian Strand

Right you are. Being a Bengalee, love n honor for poem has originated from Tagore's work. How can I get away?
