Have You Ever

Have you ever walked
on grass
when dew drops adorn it?
or observed the sky 
on a starry night?
It does not take a warrior's might
but still we make it a pass,
and i ask why?

Have you ever placed your 
feet in cold water?
with fishes around toes?
or are you all the time 
thinking about foes?

Have you ever felt the
breeze on your face?
or the moment when
rain drops pour on your face?
the second when its
like pearls with a grace?

Have you ever seen a 
stream over a bridge?
what you felt? 
The feel to always move on
in life or just a ridge?

Have you ever been happy
even for a moment?
or you were always 
lost in a hurtle to
win some achievement?

I might be sounding
abstract or absurd,
but in this fast pace life
take my word

The one who can sit
calmly, serenely
without any crease of
tension on his forehead
or a tear in eyes,
even for a moment,
believe my friend,
he is,in the whole cosmos, 
the luckiest man alive.
