Dawn is the best time for watching frolicsome birds in my garden Listening to their chirping, cooing, tweeting to each other, My life seems fulfilled…although I know, Everything is transient, we all are proceeding to the inevitable, Only the path is different - for some of us, more difficult than others. Birds don’t care if I am listening to their sweet melody, They hop cheerfully from one branch to the other, Squirrels, such adorable creatures, with grey coats on, Scurry around in such an active  pace Pretending to be the busiest creature on earth! The world seems content, the world is gorgeous, Blue sky, white clouds, red roses, green grass - everything impeccable! Do we need anything else to feel blessed! Nature has a way of calming our souls, Butterflies and bees - fluttering from plants to plants! Pollinating, renewing, rejuvenating the universe! Sun, brightening the whole world, majestic and sublime, Stars twinkling and blinking in the dark canopy above us, Shimmering moon shining amid millions of them, Gazing at the unfathomable galaxy, My eyes and my heart are mesmerized! Love like you haven't loved before, Live like every day is a true blessing - Even if we know tomorrow may never come, Seize the moment - beautiful, and baffling, Mysterious yet magical, perplexing and fleeting, Unkind time doesn’t wait for anyone! Who am I! What’s in my future… I leave those puzzling questions aside…. Staying peaceful, remaining content, This incredible life is mine!
