Life At a Glance

Enamored, I sit, in mystique of space and time Glancing at intricacies of ebullience sublime Contemplating mystery of universe all alone Through echoes of destiny, heard and known, Where birds roam, prairies bloom, oceans flow, And lauding its miracles tranquil seasons glow Enchanting passions of life, intimately I know. Life at a glance is a bouquet of fresh flowers, Exuberant pitter-patter of April rain showers, Valleys and hills gracing resplendent meadows, Sometimes sun-lit, sometimes in shadows, Invigorating senses in fragrance of budding rose Life is a bond of love that blossoms and grows-- A melody, a rhythm, a song every heart knows. Alas, the happy vibes reside, tailing teary eyes, For every smile somewhere, someone cries, Dark clouds often daub expanse of blue skies, Dense fogs precede beauteous morning rise, And every celebration of success victory calls, Someone on a steep-climb stumbles and falls. Yet, hope of a new dawn always pierces dark And replaces wolf-howls with sweet songs of lark, So, I let mornings rise on ebullience of blue skies Enamored in space, time, letting life actualize.
