How often have you?

How often have you?

A Poem by Divyanka Kapoor

How often have you looked up? 

Looked up at the clear blue sky 

Looked up from your morning cup 

Your newspaper, kept your laptop by?? 


How often have you wondered? 

Wondered about the trees so tall 

Climbing them up and stuttered 

"Oh! In the big scheme of things,I'm so small!!" 


How often have you felt? 

Felt the urge to look out ur window 

Gulp the cool breeze and make it melt 

Early in the dawn, when the moon's about to go? 


How often have you jumped? 

Jumped in the mucky-mushy soil 

Bare foot, feet nicely lumped 

Uninhibited, letting the nature toil?? 


How often have you smiled? 

Smiled at those sudden raindrops?? 

Not bothering about drenched docs,  

Or for that matter, filthy clothes or wet mops??  


How often have you cuddled? 

Cuddled the cute little dog 

Sitting cozily, nicely huddled 

Under the trees, between the broken log?? 


AND, how often have you run? 

Run behind ur greed with a frown 

Run till you didn't gain a tonne 

Till the life of you didn't drown?? 


If the answer to the last is a yes 

And the rest are close to a no 

Change tracks, before u make ur life a mess 

You still have time to make a go!!
