POEM| Pay More Attention
When was the last time you stopped
to notice
the smell in the air
the presence of silence
Poetry, Lifestyle & Purposeful Living
When was the last time you stopped
to notice
the smell in the air
the presence of silence
I long for the days
I got excited
by letters from you
Just because it’s raining,
doesn’t mean that the sun can’t shine any minute.
Just because today is long,
doesn’t mean that tomorrow won’t be fun.
I get mad
Mad at love
Mad at its display
Mad at its photos
We were perfect
a match approved by the stars
and the whole galaxy
I saw you in my life
OMG It’s Christmas Day
Finally the roads are free
Everyone is clad in their Christmas pajamas
Let the holiday celebrations begin
I remind myself to breathe
in, out, in, out…
I remind myself to smile
wide, wide, that’s it…
You’re the air in my lungs
You’re my rain in drought
You’re my water in the desert
You’re the stillness in my heart
Save your thoughts
for someone who thinks about you
Save your worrying
for someone who worries about you
I am strong
but staying strong is tough
saying I am fine is tough
carrying around the weight is tough
It’s just another lonely night
and time is taking its time
staring at the ceiling
something to pass the time
I once dreamt
that I was in a garden
with beautiful flowers around me
and a view of a waterfall behind me
