Poem 4. Miracle

Miracle happens every moment. We just have to accept that not all blessings come as big ones...Appreciation and contentment are the keys.

Miracle...
Look at the tears rolling down my cheeks
These eyes were like deep wells
This body is likely to fall down..
with hatred
for those who left me alone in this corner
for those who promised eternity but stayed for sometime
then left without saying goodbye.

Miracle...
Look at these hands full of dirt
My veins were extended and bulging
Evidences of my hard work
For those whom I dedicate my life but left me with this aching heart...
with regret
for the times spent for them and not for myself
for the water I didn't drink just to treat their thirst.

Miracle...
I always look for you anywhere
Praying that you would cure this life's infirmity
Longing for what the world could not offer
Blinded by the dreams that are higher than what I think
Escaped like a robber of my own delight
Any cause of joy was taken for granted
While every little pain was counted.

Miracle...
What kind of fool I am
for not realizing the stroke of luck is here?
What kind of blind I am
for not seeing the godsend in every little thing at hand?
I wish another face of you could explain better
that contentment is the needed answer
or appreciation to the other side of this life.

Miracle...
Every moment, you are there
I just have to open my heart
 to let me see you on my hands.
Everything I own means you are there
I just have to hear my mind's little justification.
Please go with me now so that I could be satisfied
Please hold me tight so that I could appreciate this life.

Author's Note

For those who are not contented in their lives. Learn to appreciate so that you earn contentment.

a great wisdom shines in this write Kabayan. Contentment for me is the hardest to find for we humans strive for more, we can't hardly be satisfied in simple things. For me we we learned to appreciate the simpliest things then contentment is not that far away... Like i said to myself: Life is never meant to be understood but its meant to be learned to be able to understand its profound ways. Greatly expressed.

Right now, this is exactltyy how i feel.
This is emotional, and has a message in it like all writing does.

Yah, you're right. All writings of people who want to change their lives are almost the same... because we have the same feelings...we experienced pains...but still if we have to count our blessings, the ratio is 1000:1 which means in every 1000 blessings we have, we can feel a single pain in our heart. So that's tiny...and we have to move on and live with a thousand reasons.

This is very dhaye, you have captured where so many are lost. The source of so many who miss so much by not being aware, of not appreciating all that they have and are creating. They are lost in their regret, only seeing the injustices, only feeling the pains, lost in the feeling sorry for themselves. When we rise above and become aware of all our blessings, all our creations, all the little miracles life is so much more friendly. We become who we were meant to be, instead of living a life that should not have been. A very insightful poem, it carries a beautiful message. thank you.

Thank you for your good comment. Once in my life I have been ungrateful for every little thing which could be counted as blessing. I always object and complain on things I have because those are what I don't ask for. But how great is our God that I am renewed through a miracle. And now, everything I have, little or great, are all miracles in my life.
Thank you.
