************
My Joie de vivre
Sun on the horizon
Just lifts up its face to
Look around, before
Climbing up the wall
Petals of rose
Gather in a huddle
Wishing good luck
Before opening up
Hugging blades of grass
Dew drops pray together
Before getting wiped out
By making feet wet
Birds leave their nests
Say hello to each other
Hopping from tree to tree
Before exploring the day
Cheery breeze
Carries & spreads aroma
Of half baked dreams
Before teasing damsel’s hair
Tall trees with humility
Bow their heads
Greeting nature’s splendor
Before shunning dry leaves
Lilies beckon and
Butterflies dance
Before children’s little fingers
Passionately Pursue them
Gleaming sun rays
Touch my face
Whispering in my ears
‘Have a happy day!’
That’s how it begins
Every morning; and life smiles
Ah, my joy of living
My Joie de vivre…
Love the image of a butterfly sipping happiness!
