Simplify!

It's been really long since I wrote something. This is just to get rid of my writer's block.

Getting rid of the clutter
in my almirah,
my mind opens up
to new possibilities.

I remember the clutter
in my life.

My eyes shine
and lips smile
as I get up
to simplify my life.

I step out of home
with a spring in my step
and a grin on my face.

I smile at passers by.
Some smile back,
others just stare
and some look as if I was a loony
but I don't care.

I look up at the sky
and marvel at its beauty.
I look at the trees and
jump to touch their branches.

Joy flows through me
and I laugh until I cry.

Ohh its been so long!

Happiness has been right here,
the most important things of life
and I have been missing them all.

Busy in the tasks of daily living,
I forgot to take in the love
that nature has spread all around
for one to relish.

But today I have woken up,
cherished and enjoyed.
A lesson has been learnt,
I have found the joy in life.
