Bitter Sweet Reflections


Every once a while, Mother Nature sends us a reminder

Sometimes as a blessing and sometimes as a misadventure

For we, humans, always take things for granted

Bringing out the evil inside our hearts that we planted.


We define nature as beauty, yet we encroach upon its elements

The ponds, lakes and trees, with all our arrogance

As fierce as she can be, she is also patient

Because Mother Nature believes in second chances.


We protect our relationships from all evil

But often we forget its very foundation

Loyalty and trust are no easier to gain

For without it our relationships become insane.


Yet we believe in second chances, like Mother Nature

And learn a damn good lesson with every failure

To take things for granted, we always knew

But to pay attention to details, was something new.


Do you know the postman, the milkman and the hawker?

You knew them once, but now they are mere stalkers

For when we are faced with difficult situations

That’s when we realize their true associations.


Sometimes as humans, we fail to comprehend

Our lives, the people and the countless blessings in hand

But ignore them and the little things in life shall perish

And so shall you, into thin air, with nothing to cherish.
