we rarely see what we have to, and move,
to different dimensions, and here come,
the yonder sky to paint morning light, remove-
the dust to see light within, i wake up glum,
thinking of day ahead, while i hear cows groove,
and moo to the lake, what it is to hum, strum,
and count little joys, if only time lasts ,
to sounds of mynahs, there’d be different paths .

Acknowledgements :- Thank you Grace for hosting MTB at dVerse. I was unable to join previous week’s OLN hosted by Lillian, so I’ve used the painting provided as an inspiration to my piece. Thank you all for stopping by and reading.
I think we need the artistis eye to guide us sometimes and we will see too.

“the yonder sky to paint morning light” ~~~ I remember my grandparents using yonder often in their conversations. Which made me smile as I read your poem.

Sounds have such an effect on our mood, even when we don’t notice them. I too like the enjambment–it creates a nice rhythm. (K)
