Open Up! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Are you too scared to open up?
Are you too timid to keep the face up?
Are you afraid of the content in the envelope?
Are you thinking of insulting the sender?
When the sun shines scotching, go out to enjoy,
When it rains cats and dogs, soak into it not to be coy,
When the wind blows your shirts and blouses up,
Hold them tightly to feel the force of the giant.
Don't be scared of the contents, which may not threaten you,
When you open your mind to look into the things,
You may have the surprises of what you think,
as the nature has the wisdom,
hidden deep in the heart.
