This one's about appreciating what's obvious and celebrating what's not...
Sense and Sensibility!
Listen to,
The buzzing of the bees
The chirping of the
birds
The thunder in the sky
And the pitter patter of
raindrops
Falling on the earth...
To the echoes
reverberating in the mountains
The wind whispering in
your ear
And also to what’s
unsaid...
By people you hold
dear!
Look at the sun rising
in the horizon
The flowers blooming in
all their glory
The vibrant colours of
a butterfly
The beauty of a rainbow
after the rain
The sensuality of appetizing red apple tarts
The ferocity of the
waves crashing at the shore
And See also the
goodness residing in peoples’ hearts!
Smell the wonderful
fragrance of Jasmine
Of the rain as it falls
on parched earth
The dampness of cool
mountain air
The lingering sweetness
of a ripe mango
And the subtle coolness
of mint...
But do not forget to
sniff out the simmering indifference
That may divide
families and cause a rift!
Taste the sweetness of
a soft rasgullah
The bitterness of dark
chocolate
The crispiness of fried
pakoras
The saltiness of sea
water on the beach
The tanginess of a lime,
on a hot summer day
But most important is...
To taste both defeat
and victory,
To be able to
appreciate and write history!
Feel the softness of a
rose petal,
The warmth of the sun
during cold winter months
The coolness of gentle
breeze in spring
The finger- numbing
chill of snow
And the stinging hot
summer winds sweeping the ground
Above all let us deeply
feel...
The happiness and
sorrows of everyone around!
So let’s truly listen,
look, hear, taste and feel
What a blessing are these
wonderful senses
With each to take in
more and more
And to embrace each one
without any fences!!
Wow! You are such a brilliant poet. Keep it up!
