My Wall Design

 My wall design

At night when the lights were put off,

Darkness everywhere, and my thoughts kicked off,

Why can't my eyes see  the bedroom wall design?

Which otherwise is very easy to assign.

Why this part of the day is forcing my vision to resign?

Is there fault with my eyes or is there anything to do with light ?

How come the world which I see in the day suddenly goes out of sight?

This happens everyday, before I go to bed,

Wondering, the need of sunlight to shred.

Then one day I tried to keep my light on,

Challenging nature like a moron.

My eyes gave up, compelling me to accept darkness,

Understanding God's will, there was a miracle to witness.

In 24 hours, there is a sudden change,

Sunrise at my backyard, sunset at my window, moon at my rooftop changing its range.

But, as we have our life diaries, so does our mother nature,

Same day, same work, no change in schedule or structure.

At times, I crib that life has become so monotonous,

Usual day, usual work, no signs to term it adventurous.

What if God changes his mind ?

Make everything He did today once again revind.

To add his excitement he stops our planet from spinning,

Or spins it too fast without balancing.

What if He decides not to rise the sun ?

Or plays with earth gravity just for fun ?

What if He reduces the level of gases in atmosphere?

Make 5 natural elements - earth, water, space, fire and air interefere.

Realzing this, I thanked Him for my daily routine,

Even if it is boring, if He has so destined.

Tomorrow, a ray of light will again make that wall design visible,

Everything will be normal, I have to act responsible.

Change is the nature of nature,

Let's take "day" and "night" with equal gesture.

Too many changes may not be acceptable

But, monotonous life does not make one incapable.

"Acceptance with gratitude" is the mantra when life keeps its challenges throwing.

Another lesson learnt before I slept and a gentle smile kept my face glowing :)
