REASONS TO CELEBRATE

What are the reasons we have to celebrate?

"REASONS TO CELEBRATE"

Looking forward to the next big event,

living life from one occasion to the other.

She set reminders for functions and gatherings,

not realizing that everyday could be a celebration.

Blissfully alone, calm and restful,

sitting on a wooden windowsill,

she pondered over what was 

the purpose of it all.

Solitude makes people question.

So she too showed her curiosity to the

 deep dark skies,didn't get the answer soon, 

but was determined never to stop.

Without warning, realization dawned on her.

that she had every reason to celebrate.

For she was alive, hale and hearty

and had nothing major to complain...!

Author's Note

if we have good health, food and enough air in our lungs, what more do we need?

The should be a period at the end of the final sentence of the first stanza.

I suggest revising the punctuational error(s) within these two lines:
"Without warning, realization dawned on her.
that she had every reason to celebrate." (You don't start off a sentence with a lowercase letter).

Overall, nice job.

indeed good health etc does help us to feel like celebrating but solitude is something to take in small doses, a prolonged bout of loneliness will lead to paranoia i speak from experience, this though does not detract from your exceptional work, bravo :)

[Maumil Mehraj]

that is true ....thanks for reading :)

Solitude makes people question.
It's amazing how many truths you've managed to blend into a single poem where not even a single line seems out of touch with the whole. Beautifully written. Hats off! :)

deep dark skies, didn't get the answer soon,
but was determined never to stop.

You got it absolutely right... if we have the necessities then we are good! I have learned to do with less lately and live a more simple life rather than being so dependent on wants rather than needs :)

[Maumil Mehraj]

That is great...if everybody understood that, the word would become so much better! Thanks very much for the review :)
