I find my joy in simple things:
An apple, old letters, a bird that sings;
A misty sunrise at crack-of-dawn,
your shadow dancing across my lawn.
A baby's smile, an aged face,
a fleecy cloud in far-off space;
A gurgling brook, a mountain high,
a peek-a-boo sun, a clear blue sky.
A pasture green with daisies white,
a yoghurt moon on a star-sprinkled night.
A harmonica serenade by the old windmill,
dancing geraniums on my windowsill.
Tip-toeing raindrops waltzing on tin-roofs awhile
like the persistent cheerfulness on a beggar child;
Perfect-hair days and cakes that don't burn,
autum leaves dotting cobbled streets at every turn.
Air-borne handkerchiefs trimmed with lace,
beneath cherry blossoms my dreaming place.
A prayer, a poem, a quietness,
old friends, a trust - my happiness...
A heartful of love can be found
with simple faith that is profound.

Hey where were you?
This is so simple and profound at the same time. I loved each and every word you wrote
Of suns and moons and rains and dew
of clouds and birds and rainbows few
is all I need to dance and smile
and some friends to walk those miles
my few lines.
keep writing
Nupur

Hi Bhavna,
thank you for sharing your thoughts - nice to find there are others who enjoy simple joys. Yeah, I liked the pic - more for the smiley bird formation than the misty sunrise, actually - Wish you skies of smiling blue today!

That is a very nice poem. I could relate to it because i enjoy the simplicity in life rather than complicating things.. :) liked the pic as well. It just adds colors to the poem & brings it out with more effects.. :)
rgds,
Bhavna
