Bless(ed) Mornings

Dawn has broken

Birds chirp away happily.

The rumbling sound

Of the trolleys

Whose wheels creak

As it passes by

Laden with flasks

Filled with hot tea and coffee.

The eversmiling faces

Of the servers

As they goes about their chores

Of delivering bed coffee

To the residents

In their homes

And apartments.

The air is fresh

And breathable…

Early morning walkers

Either alone or in pairs.

Some go about it silently

Whereas some discuss

Sundry matters

Vigorous exercise by one.

Some are into clapping

And rubbing their palms

As they walk along.

Some can be heard

Chanting prayers

While some end their walk

And sit on the green benches

In meditation…

Admiring the beauty of nature.

The undulating pattern

Of the stone pathway

Makes me feel a bit light headed

Causing me to sway.

The security guards

At both the gates

Smile as they wish

The residents

As they begin a new day

In a healthy manner.

Putting their best foot forward

And taking steps

As long as they can.

And thanking the Creator

For yet another day
