Romance In Living Poem by Jasbir Chatterjee

Romance In Living

Rating: 4.5


Life can often be tough,
Our paths can often be paved
With large obstacles.

But have you ever woken up,
Early in the morning
To watch the beauty of the rising sun?

Have you ever come out
In the evening
To watch the beauty of the setting sun?

Have you ever come out
In the rain
And felt the joy of the cool drops on your tired, exhausted body?

For that is the romance in living.
The quintessence of life.

Ignoring in our way the large stones,
Waking up early in the morning
To bask in the glory of the rising sun,
Coming out in the evening
To bask in the glory of the setting sun,
Coming out in the rain, closing your eyes
And feeling the joy of the cool drops on your tired, exhausted body…

You have offered a very practical advice or rather a panacea to the people who feel that the life has been unkind or tough to them. Let each one of them look at enjoy the bonanza that nature provides free of cost- every day. It would require a bit of change in our outlook. Thanks for this lovely poem, Jasbir ji.
