World As I See It



I look outside the door there's so much to see,
to feel, but I don't, I'm so lost in me
I ride my bike but I really don't, thinking
of something else, I ride, but not on the road

there are so many stories that needs an ear
many running behind me, I walk past them
indifferently, problems that aren't mine
don't worry me, information overload
everywhere I see, unprocessed most of it
dumped all in back of my brains, goes on
my life and me. I look outside the door
there's so much to see, but someone came
this time, and knocked so hard on my head
whispered- you ain't dead, not yet
laugh a little, make someone too
there's much to see, so much to do

see outside everyday to reassure
your heart beats, and till it does 
let it not beat for a single purpose.. 



Look at everything. Don’t close your eyes to the world around you. Look and become curious and interested in what there is to see.
~ John Cage

  13. "Let noble ideas come to me from all sides of the world" said Rigveda ( Aa no bhadra kratvo yantu vishwatah ). unless you keep your mind and eyes open this is simply not possible!
    A nice read!

  14. Jyoti, you always put the best stuff together!

    I used to volunteer at a retirement home, and often visited with a woman named Francis. She was in her late 90's and almost completely alone. She was from Switzerland, and had the cutest accent. She would always point things out that I would never see. She'd say, "look! Just look. If you don't, see what you're missing?'

    That's what your poem made me think of here. :)
