Inspired by magnificence is rare
it eludes most as they do not care
well, I think high of myself
what way am I in real self
I myself do not know
this has been how
so I go in my own way unperturbed
living in a world of mine undisturbed
Years have gone in such a stretch
I never sought any inspiration as such
being an exception the year past
I was caught up with a one at last
she being a good friend of mine
a few whom I remember in line
a leading gynecologist in a metropolis
whose friendship I long cherish.
I had an occasion to meet her in middle 2015
had to wait for hours more than fifteen
am not joking, as you might think, whatsoever
I stayed with her almost through the day ever
a petite lady with a sweet smile all through
worked from eight in the morning to midnight through
she operated with an agility in the early hours
had the very same alertness in the late hours.
My jaws fell apart with awe filled inspiration
my heart felt charged bereft of respiration
my eyes got stuck at the beautiful deft fingers
an experience in itself even now it lingers
a genial smile lighted her face all through the day
she looked fresh as a flower in a way
did she eat I know not when she did?
did she relax I know not when she did?
An exuberant inspiration it was to me
as I spend time gazing at the sky with glee
my life has a different dimension all the more
I live with a contentment, unexplainable, to the core
work to me is for a time and for a revenue sufficient
never could it override me whatever be the requirement
she would come out with a different engagement I know
as I find her coat pocket bulge out with currency in a glow
could that be the cause for her undue commitment I do not know.
