LITTLE THINGS|LIFE POEMS I walked through a road Saw someone quite old a fruit seller , Full of wrinkles , Whose eyes, Tell the tales Of all his life's phase Locked my gaze With his My heart skipped a beat shifted my gaze Smiling at my toenails, Silently Praying in my heart For a dart of ease , for him. There , I felt the whole world Centered around me. As if , its laughing At silly me. Sobbing at her father's shoulder, A child , Caught my attention I felt amused , Smiled at her , Tear filled Her eyes, got wider She got Restless and Shook her head at me Felt like ripple of softness Gathered around an emotion Which I can't comprehend, It felt feather light And joyous, Made that part of my day Easiest. Heard a man singing And humming, In middle of the night. As if , He was coming from somewhere, That calmed his mind Gave him delight, in the time he got alone. Me being at home, Opened my window's drapes, To see Who was he? Ended up enjoying the lyrics, And laughing, At his self created melody. He got his share of joy And I got mine. People share Moments and minutes , In a single paradigm Without knowing. Meanwhile River of Time Keeps flowing.
