True Beauty Poem by Rajni Nair

Nature is what all I wanted to write about,
Like the great Wordsworth did;
Never was or is I am successful in doing so.
The red rose in my neighborhood stands as pretty as ever,
But never was I able to appreciate it.
The petite sparrow keeps chirping on my window,
Trying to draw my attention,
But never once did I notice it.
The monster-like mountain stands tall outside my mother’s house,
But never did I appreciate the vast green patch on it,
That gives so much peace to ones heart.
The first drizzle every monsoon tries to seduce me with its cool touch
But never did I try to feel it.
The morning dewdropp on the green leaf tries to give me a fresh start,
But never did I try to enjoy this freshness.
Lost in the web of worldly desires,
I missed the naïve beauty of HIS creation,
But it’s never too late to enjoy the beauty of life!
Why not now!
