Look at
the sunrise feel the cold air
The
radiance of the sky n distant eagle’s stare
When did
you last hold her soft warm hand?
Look into
her eyes watch love float as magic wand
We chase
goals aimless pursuits of wealth n fame
Forgetting
enjoy life’s journey to reach destination main
Slow down
the life’s pace, toss away baggage of worry
Enjoy
fruits of labor and dream in warm bed furry
Why be
always in a great hurry? Why not stop for fun?
Look
around for happiness, Walk, do not run

ReplyDeleteLovely answers Rahulji. But please do tell us, which is your best post until now?
Thanks Jenny and am glad you liked it! What I enjoy most is to write the stories around my travel and share them :)
DeleteLife should be a pleasure and not under any pressure... A journey need breaks to prevent us from broke-down.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting answers on blogging!

Bikram you want me to commit Harakiri:)Just joking....:)Thanks a lot!
DeleteBefore a life changing event, I was always on a run. After that I realized, I can't be in a constant chase. I have to sit and enjoy. May be that was a signal from God. I feel this poem is written exclusively for me. Thank you for this one Sir.
ReplyDeleteGood to know so many things about you. And thanks for liking my blog, it is an honor and can't express it in words how happy I am after reading my name there.
Saru, I present this poetry to you as an exclusive gift that you could relate it to your life!Your blog is the one I await most eagerly:)

DeleteQuestion 12. Name few HAUGHTY BLOGGERS :)
ReplyDeleteRahul Ji, I love the poem. Running seems normal these days. When one realizes and starts walking people find him/her crazy! :)
Kusum, every one is curious about answer 12! The best runners always look around when they get opportunity to admire things around them and only fools keep rushing:)
DeleteVery well said Rahul buddy! Yes, we need to get slow or else we lose our control.
