Anisha Dutta Poet Couplet

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.
