Musing as I skywatch from my window
Observing some monumental acts
But clusters of white puffy clouds
Are pinned in the sky, sitting in stillness
Ignoring my prying eyes
Unperturbed in their own mindful state.
Spring is fanning its gentle breeze
As mildly as a bright calm day
With leaves of the trees swaying
Gracefully in branches and twigs
Albeit, in the absence of birds that sing and dance
Life seems dull and uninspiring; without them
Their music is what I long to hear like yesterday.
In such a time with so much space
To colour my day with gaily impression
What thoughts could be more enthusing
Than an effervescent mind that comprehends
The natural order of life tainted with pragmatism
Alluding a predicated chaos and confusion
At alarming scales, disarm humanity.
Humanity, the solemn word that brings back memory
Of those young boys trapped in a cave of darkness
Saved by desperate group of strangers to free them
As time was running out, and the process was slow
Tempered with uncertainty, yet risk had to be addressed
In everyone’s heart and mind,
“God help us do the best we can”
And the answer came, so it shall be…
Humanity is still alive!
When trust, tact, and teamwork unite all hearts
Irrespective of colour, race and belief
Non-judgmental perspective, undivided ideology
Political partisan aside, as people work side by side
There’s no obstacle turn disastrous
When all hands join together in one common goal
An impossible mission for humankind is what we aim to do.
