Traveling to Work
Hair all grey
Pulled back neatly
No fancy style
And then a plain face
with no smile
Tall and poised
Not impacted by the herd in fashion and bling
She stood there
Quite comfortable in her skin
And that lady there… had a creaseless face
Impeccably dressed
She radiated a lot of grace
Oh’ this cute baby in a pink bow
Her father was proud… it showed
…and the girl sitting there unhappily typing away in her phone
I wondered
If her day will continue in the same tone…
“Fulton”, they announced
And I left my travel companions
To go join others
Road full of suits and skirts
Colors and faces
In minutes forgotten, not leaving any traces!
So my day had just started
And I already left so many people behind
Because I was only meant to be with them
For just that much time
A lesson to be learned
If one has the wisdom to
No one stays with you longer
Than they are meant to

This beautiful poem by Natasha Kazim reflects the power of poetry to capture and portray in few words the thoughts and feelings that reach the heart and mind of a poet. I see each line of this poem is like a portrait, a painting in words. The last stanza, just in four verses, sums up the whole philosophy of life.
