I look out the window
And see a lone tree
It rests atop a knoll
Draped in herbage
For a moment this scene
Is crystal clear
Then slowly it blurs
Behind a sheet of rain
I'm mesmerized
By this view divine
Yet I can't afford
The bliss of being there
Chained as I am
To the workplace cubicle
Under nobody's orders
But my own obligation
It's funny how we humans
Take a detour
To endless hours at work
So we can play during the rest
We slog for a secure dwelling
But yearn for adventure
We spend hours in chaotic commutes
And crave for a moment of peace
But that's the way of the world as I see it
Simple units bound into complex structures
That disintegrate into the parts
To be revived yet again

Reema's Thought of the Day is just appropriate:
Many people spend their health for wealth, and then try to spend their wealth for health. :-)
So, very true. I guess I need to subscribe to her Thought for the Day.. miss some of those gems!
