Poetry from Mahbub Alam

Middle aged South Asian man with reading glasses, short dark hair, and an orange and green and white collared shirt. He's standing in front of a lake with bushes and grass in the background.

How Wonderful

Morning awakens us

Life finds the meaning there

With the chirping birds outside

On the deep forest leaves of trees

On the colorful flying of butterflies

It’s a journey running at a stretch or stopping at some places

As I can see through the window of a train

The blooming earth

Spreading green paddy field velvet

The sight mixes at the horizon

With the morning shine

The world smiles with a charm

Overwhelming but not to be expressed in words

You are sitting before me

And raising a storm of the last days stories

Over a cup of tea

Nobody stands by me but someone whispers

I lost my senses

And kept on beholding the green paddy fields

What a wonder!

O life! You are running so deep in speed

The spreading beauty on the earth sometimes stops

Sometimes stops us in no reason

On the other hand, it seems a great reason behind there

Sometimes with you for a cup of tea

How wonderful the life led by!
