Morning Musings Poem by Valsa George

Morning Musings



Over the East, the sun luminously gleamed
And bid the nebulous vapours fly
Changing the murky gloom into radiant blaze
And cheering the languid drowsy sky

Lying in bed, I looked around
And saw my room so cozily set
With things just enough to make it fit
A sweet haven for me to rest

Each little thing in it began to muse
In a language discernible for me to grasp
Of the secret of success so elusive to man
Which on striving to catch, slips out from his clasp

The clock ticking away at the centre of the wall
Alerted in a tone of rhythmic resonance
That ‘each minute is precious and dear'
And not to waste time in trifling appurtenance

While the ceiling fan, spiralling above
Discreetly hummed, 'Be cool and do not fret'
The open window, to me did urge
To ‘look out' and watch the world in rising beat

The mirror neatly fitted on my bureau
With a gleaming countenance beckoned me
Asking me to ‘reflect', ere venturing into anything
That from fatal fallacies, I shall ever be free

The calendar hanging on the wall
Reminded me not to lag or put off things
But keep my assignments and learning ‘up to date'
That in a life of fast pace, I can be on soaring wings

And the woolly carpet gently mused;
'Bend your knees and kneel down to pray
With a heart in gratitude, copiously filled
Before a God who never left you homeless to stray'

With such counsel, silent and salient
I got out from bed with resolutions profound
To greet the morning and start the day
With greater zest and mind so sound

Lovely musings indeed - we should all look around us and be thankful for what we have.

The mystery of things infinite including that of an outwardly transparent morning have ever taken man`s imagination by surprise. Your morning musings have an extra glow with a resolute mind reminding you of the mission like work lying ahead. The poem catagorically analyses the phases of the small happenings and blooms into a piece of literary pearl. Nice reading!

ap·pur·te·nance əˈpərt(ə) nəns/ an accessory or other item associated with a particular activity or style of living. all the appurtenances of luxurious travel synonyms: accessories, trappings, appendages, accoutrements, equipment, paraphernalia, impedimenta, bits and pieces, things; informal stuff.............THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'regular appurtenances' and 'trifling appurstenances'? ? ? ? i guess. :) (to be continued) ......................
