Of attention
- - - - - - - - - - -
A minute ago
You were looking fine
Stars were twinkling in your eyes
Dimples making hollow in your cheeks
Nectars flowing fine to your lips
But now everything is ruined
By strange unknown feelings
In a fraction of a second
You are thrown off balance by a swing
Of thoughts overpowering everything
For the power of a thought
Is as great as its ruining
Good or bad a thing is
Impossible to feel it
Unless thought of it in the beginning
Feeling hurt is an emotion
For it's a feeling nothing but a feeling
My dear for your better understanding
An example I am citing
Once a man was taking
A stroll in a busy market
Inside a jewellery shop nearby
He noticed a gold ornament
Before anyone could realize
He was seen scurrying away with the jewel
After breaking the glass with a rock
But he was nabbed and in no time
Presented before the magistrate
'I'm surprised', the judge said
You attempted burglary in broad daylight
It was the gold, the thief said
My Lord I could not resist it
I got blinded by the gold
Nor guards nor owner
Nor people I saw around
Only I saw the gold
It's all about attention
Before anything felt
Your mind thinks about it
Old memories freshen up
The person and the incident enliven
Thrusting your mind to a different mood
Hence good or bad a thing is
Impossible to feel it
Unless thought of it in the beginning
Thus being attentive on the present
You may gain a lot
But by going back
To the source of thought
To the past
You may be disturbed a lot…….
definitely thoughts of past will disturb us...............fantastic write.................
A fleeting thought can upset our equillibrium! A bad thought can destroy our happiness in no time... So we should try to foster only good thoughts! I enjoyed the story of the burglar who got blinded by the sight of shimmering gold! A great write with a powerful message!

A thoughtful poem from your pen. Just a moment is enough to disturb our thoughts... Beautiful story you have presented here. very true said, old thoughts blinded the robber. on seeing the gold. Once again took him to past and he repeated the same mistake again. Powerful write. Loved reading it. Thanks for sharing.
