‘Multiplier of Five’ Poetry Series, poetry#2: ‘Books’ by Suntonu Bhadra

This poem is a part of the ‘Multiplier of Five’ Poetry Series, where I am writing 5 (five) poetries in 5 (five) days, each in precisely 25 (twenty-five) words. Every day, I am taking a resolution (for the day or to continue onwards) & expressing the motive into a poem. On the next day, I’m sharing the highlight of the previous day’s resolution effort at the end of the note. Today is day #2, poetry #2; the theme for today’s resolution is ‘bringing back the habit of reading books every day,’ titled the poem as ‘Books.’

I used to read books every day, and due to stress and other related reasons, I couldn’t have that peace properly during the last year. I’ve missed a part of me that helps me to keep calm and quiet inside my mind. Finding some dedicated time to read books every day is my resolution I’m taking today to continue for the upcoming time.

Yesterday’s highlight: Stepping outside and embedding myself with heart-connected resolutions was the path I started from yesterday. I had some wonderful time spent outdoors enjoying the colors of nature in the afternoon, had a home food fiesta, enjoyed conversational television shows and comedy with my partner, and had some good laugh out loud moments. When I finally rested my head at my pillow around 3.00 am, I had a good sleep for the night (vivid dreams are yet to come).

Life is precious; we only have moments that we can’t even grab or hold, but only can cherish. And, I want to cherish memories with great reminiscences. Don’t you?
