my greatest moment today <br />was when <br />I just stood beside the tree <br />and put my hand against it <br />and looked at the distant clouds <br />and long I looked at the distant clouds <br />and then when I looked down <br />I saw the inquisitive roots <br />of the tree <br />that had crept up above the earth <br />and also <br />I saw a bird close to my feet; <br />that was my greatest moment today <br />when the tree and the clouds <br />and the roots and the person and the bird <br />were together in one quiet moment<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-greatest-moment-today/
