Of attention <br />- - - - - - - - - - - <br />A minute ago <br />You were looking fine <br />Stars were twinkling in your eyes <br />Dimples making hollow in your cheeks <br />Nectars flowing fine to your lips <br />But now everything is ruined <br />By strange unknown feelings <br />In a fraction of a second <br />You are thrown off balance by a swing <br />Of thoughts overpowering everything <br />For the power of a thought <br />Is as great as its ruining <br /> <br />Good or bad a thing is <br />Impossible to feel it <br />Unless thought of it in the beginning <br />Feeling hurt is an emotion <br />For it's a feeling nothing but a feeling <br />My dear for your better understanding <br />An example I am citing <br /> <br />Once a man was taking <br />A stroll in a busy market <br />Inside a jewellery shop nearby <br />He noticed a gold ornament <br />Before anyone could realize <br />He was seen scurrying away with the jewel <br />After breaking the glass with a rock <br />But he was nabbed and in no time <br />Presented before the magistrate <br />'I'm surprised', the judge said <br />You attempted burglary in broad daylight <br />It was the gold, the thief said <br />My Lord I could not resist it <br />I got blinded by the gold <br />Nor guards nor owner <br />Nor people I saw around <br />Only I saw the gold <br /> <br />It's all about attention <br />Before anything felt <br />Your mind thinks about it <br />Old memories freshen up <br />The person and the incident enliven <br />Thrusting your mind to a different mood <br />Hence good or bad a thing is <br />Impossible to feel it <br />Unless thought of it in the beginning <br />Thus being attentive on the present <br />You may gain a lot <br />But by going back <br />To the source of thought <br />To the past <br />You may be disturbed a lot…….<br /><br />DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/of-attention/
