Overlooked Delights!

In the hustle, often we stray,
From the little things, that sparkle the day,
A golden elixir, the beauty of a day unfolding,
The chirping cuckoo, greet your day,
A melody plays, lifting your mood.
Racing clock and rushing feet.

Afternoon's radiance, cotton balls on sapphire sky,
Soft whispers of breeze, through curly hair's gentle care,
The murmur of voices, in discussions so free,
A vibrant atmosphere, of curiosity,
A gentle reminder, of life's simple delight.

The gentle flutter, of wings homeward bound,
Sunset's fiery dance, on the horizon,
Stars beginning to twinkle, like diamonds,
The moon becomes the highlight.

The golden ambiance, of streetlights shining high,
A reassuring presence, as the stars go by.
Night's silence, with shadows so deep,
The rhythmic hum, of crickets' gentle beat, 
A soothing serenade, all night long.

In the hustle, we often stray,
From life's little moments, that make each day.
So let's slow down, and take a deep breath,
And cherish the beauty, in life's everyday depth.
