Tick-tock of a clock lasts a fraction of moment,
Yet, makes me cognizant of the moments potent!
The dewdrop that glistens from the tip of a leaf,
Though its life is a second or minute so brief…
The mayfly lives, kissing the lamp, a day or less,
Yet, that makes itself as happy as none could guess!
Fruit fly survives fourteen days as a total whole,
Egg to larva, pupa, the adult with a goal…
The Pantry pests, Luna moths, ant-drones and houseflies,
Each lives with no complaints and dies with no outcries!
Parrot, crow, pigeon, sparrow, eagle, and vulture,
Who have, earning the food they eat, as their culture…
Clean air, soothing sounds, and the beauty of nature,
A beam of sunlight and gleam of gentle gesture!
Relishing memories; cherishing warm events,
Sun basking, Moon baking, Stargazing calm moments…
The holiness of motherhood; Fatherly care,
Fraternal love and mutual concern we share!
I cannot just tell, indeed, what does not touch me,
Devoid of these touches, can I ever be me?
