Before The Magic Disappears

Stop following the daily instruction manual of life

And break free from a routine monotonous and robotized 

Just enjoy those slight deviations from set patterns

To brighten your days with an eternal shine

Beware, before life changes

Into a game of Hide and Seek

With Sorrows and Joys as two teams

Sorrows well hidden and concealed within us 

And joys seemingly out of reach

And in a struggle to seek 

Those joys in moments festive and exceptional 

True valuable treasures are left far behind

And when this game gets over making us realize

That while chasing some special moments 

Almost everything's missed

It feels so deceived

Wake up to this fact before it's too late 

To retain that beautiful smile on your face

That ethereal glow in your eyes

And cherish those insignificant ignored joys 

'Coz life is much more than this 

Hence enjoy today as if there's no tomorrow

For discarding microscopic joys today

Might later on give immense sorrow

And live Life

Before the Clock strikes Midnight

For after the magic disappears

Nothing will remain except tears.
