The breeze on a summer evening
The feel of grass on the bare feet
The stars twinkling in the night sky
White puffs of cloud floating in the open sky
The smell of coffee brewing on the stove
The dance of the cranes in the paddy fields
The wind singing in the bamboo groove
The sounds of the children playing
The vastness of the deserts
The wonder of the supermoon
The winding country road to the village
The hunting lodge deep in the woods
The hug of a dear one after a long time
The shafts of sunlight pouring on the windowsill
The song of the distant cuckoo
The eagles gliding lazily in the azure sky
The chant of Lamas in the monastery
The song playing in the head
The quick dance steps in the bathroom
The warmth of the glass of tea in winters
The grin at the end of an enduring ride
The laughter around the campfire
The joy of togetherness of an old couple
The gratitude on the dining table
The pleasure of walking in new shoes
The freshness of the falling snow
The pitter-patter of rain on a tin roof
The sweat from a match well played
The pride in a sacrifice made for the cause
The joy of a kid coming home from school
The happiness in freeing the trapped honeybee
The aimless chase behind the elusive butterfly
The randomness and unpredictability
Well, that’s Life!

Reading poems written by you is a feeling of peace. As I read, I can feel the thrill of aimlessly chasing a butterfly, the warmth of tea and so on…..
This is such a beautiful poem.
