Office Poetry Breaks

Sometimes, I wonder...

Woke up to the call of a dull afternoon,

An afternoon in the plains,

While, my heart yearned for the hills

As I looked outside my window,

A tender fall of a raindrop catches my eye.

Like a scene from a half dreamt dream;

Like a poem in the making,

It speaks…

With a still gaze, I try to soak it all in

The assortment of greens, reds and pinks in my garden,

A solitary white flower blooming in the wind,

Birds chirping one at a time, occasionally joining into a duet

The fading in and out sound of a hovering airplane,

Adding that tint of urban culture to this isolated fancy world of mine…

This single moment,

A union of so many voices;

The coming together of so many stories...

Yes, this ordinary life.

A coexistence of worlds that run in parallel

With or without, our knowing

Sometimes, I wonder…

Don’t you wonder too?

Seconds of happiness…

Only you will fight, only you will emerge

It’s your story & you’re here to make a long run.

A meaningful one, if not that long…

What you choose, is your gift or curse

And of course you knew, didn't you?

That fragile phase of ignorance you seek

Drifts you away or takes you closer to a whole new world.

You thought it’ll be green all along the way,

And that’s when your fantasy goes wrong…

The picture you sought, didn't match the one in mind

And then you begin to think, does this mismatch really matter?

Did we have to say it out aloud?

Couldn't we stay content with this one second?

Oh you want it all,

You want the magic, you want the drama

You’re trying to make everything count

But it’s only a fragment of happiness we earn out of these infinite seconds…
