2 minutes

While tying my shoelaces the other day,

I dozed off 2 minutes to let my thoughts play.

I could see myself on the aisle,

a dear friend saying hello with a smile,

running errands in a mile,

washing dishes from a stockpile,

taking out trash of mine,

doing my laundry in downtime,

walking myself for a while,

planning gym resolutions in style,

yet munching chips like a child,

remembering adventures in the wild,

those 2 minute thoughts made it worthwhile.

It's funny how 2 minutes is all you need

to make everything around you special indeed.

While tying my shoelaces today,

if I may say,

2 minutes is the way,

day after day..

Wow! What an amount of memories you have gone through in just two minutes, Abhilish!!! You know, it's the little things in life that matter most and that two minutes was so necessary to bring home how special everything is and you express that so delightfully in the poem. Two minutes may not seem like much but you packed so much into them, it is truly amazing. I love this poem, it speaks to me, Abhilish! Gratitude with beautiful blessings for sharing with me, dear poet. Sublime inking, penned with humour...

I know, I recollected quite a few memories in 2 minutes. My mind always races in time, what to do! But yes, little things in life matter the most and I'm glad you liked the poem. Count your blessings as they say. Just grateful and thankful for everything. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts, Marie.

Certainly accomplished a lot in 2 minutes in the poem...but what about in reality? Just the shoelaces? or so much more?

Haha... not really. a lot of it was accomplished in the past and were recollected in 2 minutes of thoughts. In real 2 minutes, just the shoelaces and dozed off in those thoughts :) Intended to say that, little things in life is all we need to feel good and make life better around us. A happy mind is a happy place. Thanks much Jacob for reading and leaving a review.
