Little Things Poem by Seema Aarella

Carelessly strewn dew drops
Silently melt as the sun pops
Groggy sparrows spread their wings
Far away another bird sings,
One beautiful morning
Among the myriad things
Have we ever waited to see such musings?

Plush fields fresh and green
Gurgling of water from river unseen
Bleating of sheep, mooing herd of cows,
Scent of earth deep in the meadows,
Felt raindrops only on our windscreen
But into the woods have we ever been?

A new lifestyle with new cell phones
SMS, mails, calls and ringtones,
Carried away by inane trends
Easily making overseas friends.
Flying to corners of earth in hours
But have we walked across to meet our neighbors?
