Life's Discipline

The softness of the wind

Just touched my shoulders

And whispered in my ears,

"Hey, I am here".

I looked around

There were no snowflakes

Covering the ground,

Trees were happy and active and sound,

There was no trace of winter!

The little raindrops

Just kissed my nose

And whispered in my ears,

"Hey, I am here".

I took a round

There was no lightning, no thunder

No storm, no torrent I found

And The rain too was over!

I kept waiting for the winter

And missed the cooler breeze,

I waited for the showers

And passed up the drizzle,

I kept searching for the biggest

And skipped the smaller lights,

I waited for happiness to come

And sidestepped the little delights!

I waited for perfection

And missed the real taste,

I realized life's discipline

When it was very late.
