A Year From Now

I’ve been following Joseph Gordon-Levitt (500 Days of Summer, Rush) on Instagram as I’m a fan of his work. I also like his community-website HitRecord. So on his Instagram, he posted this “April-must-do list” that one of the HitRecord member created. The list suggests what you can do or post on the website for each day of April – kind of like The Daily Post here in WordPress. The list suggested for the 3rd of April this – ‘a year from now’. Coincidentally, I have been thinking about what would happen a year from now. So, I used this as a bit of inspiration for today’s post.

I sit here outside our terrace and I wonder what would happen a year from now.

Will we learn and remember all the valuable lessons this pandemic has taught us?

When we look back a year from now, will we be looking back with anguish or anger or fear?

Will we be more appreciative knowing the difficulties we all had to go through?

Will we be kinder to each other?

Will we be better people?

I look up at the sky that’s slowly turning orange from blue, and I wonder what would happen a year from now.

Innocence

Everything is wonderful and magical in the eyes of an innocent child.

The world is fun to explore and you just want to jump and run wild!

Curious of many things, everywhere you turn is whimsical.

In awe with a lot of things that seem astronomical.

You see beauty through your innocent eyes.

As for me, you are the beauty and it’s no surprise.

Significance

Sometimes I wonder…..

…..if I am significant at all

Wonderful In White

They’re all marching

Arm in arm

Everyone smiling

Pearly whites showing

Cameras flashing

He waits, excitedly shivering

Looking like Prince Charming

Or a knight in armor shining

His eyes, they seem like dancing

In the altar I arrive

He smiles as we wait for his bride

And I wonder

Would I look wonderful in white?

Why Am I Single? (Part 1)

They ask

And I questioned myself.

I wondered what’s wrong with me

I wondered what others may have that I don’t

I wondered

Had self doubt

Felt lonely

I wanted to get away from everyone

I felt ridiculed

I was hurt

They question me…

Your Story

I sometimes sit and just wonder

What became of us

We might not have found each other

Or we may have but made too little fuss.
I wonder if you wonder if I exist, if there is really a “destiny”

And if you do what could have been, had I chosen you

I wonder what you’d share to me

I wonder about your story

I wonder if your wondering why we haven’t or never met

In A Trance

Speechless,

In awe,

Transfixed,

Hypnotized,

Fascinated and mesmerized by the beauty so wonderful.

No matter how many times I see the sunrise, I feel I am always in a trance.

Dream Job

Why is it that I wonder what I feel I could be?

To do what I love and maybe love what I do

To be able to do what some are able to

To work buy don’t feelit as work

To pursue what I feel fits me truly
In this world of practicality

I wonder what might have been

Or what could be

If I do what I truly want

One Wonderer

I look up to the sky

Wondering if I could ever be

What I wanted

What I dreamed of

Or will I be one of the wonderers

Always thinking

Always dreaming of what could be

Imagine It

A mind at peace

And the world too

Natural wonders and beauty 

Everlasting calmness

The sun rises and sets with always a new light!

Oh wouldn’t it be great if it were?
