poem


BEAUTY

Problems, difficulties and sorrows everywhere
Conflicts, misconcepts and misunderstandings everywhere
Hurry, worry and sorry had grabbed me
Rivalry, hostility and disputes had destroyed me

I was fade up with all these evil deeds
Flaws, mistakes that I had committed
I was anxious and had grave consequence
I was totally lost in the world of uncertainty
It was like the whole world is coming to an end,
Or I was going to diminish,
I was in a great confusion, the confusion I didn’t know
I was in a complete mess, the mess I didn’t know

Full of tensions and trashes in mind, I was sitting in a garden
Just trying to root out the cause of my problem
Abruptly, I happened to concentrate on a blooming rose
That gave me the lesson of life which changed my pose

Spreading a smile in the middle of the thorns
With its pleasant fragrance, luring the world
I learned a lesson, a lesson for life
Which a rose taught me , with full faith and pride.

The charm of flowers, the freshness of wind
The greenery of grasses, the purity of leaves
I realized the importance of beauty
The beauty of attraction, the beauty of sight
The beauty of nature, the beauty of life.
