Mundane Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

Mundane
- - - - - - - - -
Forever life goes on
Like the gnawing of a mouse
And there is this exertion
For big or small chores
The seasons open and the seasons wane
But never come to an end the deeds of men
Forever opening fainter and wider rings
For us to see things happen
Finding way through slow,
Monotonous draining mechanism though
Looking tedious and un-glamorous
And disregarded as humdrum and boring
Not moving forward nor backward
Yet there is something to be learned
From preparing the lunch
Doing the laundry
Or minding the baby
Fulfilling through servitude
Attending to detail
And more important than ordinary consideration
Is intentiveness to Love
Thereby making mundane magnificent
