Stop, Pause... Poem by Namratha Swamy

Stop, pause...
Listen to the birds chirp
The voices though feeble is full of melliflous mirth...

Stop, pause...
Stare as long as you can at the sky above...
For the blue expanse can take away the blues within...

Stop, pause...
Admire a flower blossom
For she will wilt away soon if you don't...

Stop, pause...
Smell the earth when it rains...
For the fragrance would linger on even on arid days...

Stop, pause...
Watch your children grow
For they will be strangers one day if you miss it now! ! !
