Reclaimed land

 A long time ago

I would find usual life

Very unusual 


And today

It strikes again 

To me 


As I was listening to music

Laying down 


I noticed a mosquito

Anticipating it to come 

For my blood 


It did come to me

And then flew back 


I was mesmerised 

Looking at it flying around 

in abandon 


A small flying creature 

Like those cute mini cooking videos

Of those mini humans 

Of those mini animals 


Why was it not coming for my blood ? 

The mosquito may not have been hungry


Once the meal is sorted 

What else exists other than to have fun and roam around

Enjoying the movement of one’s body

Complete abandon and chilling out in nature 


Unlike us 

Humans

Not so easy 

To simply have a meal 

And then dance around and chill


There is a constant fight in the heart and the mind 

It starts in the morning

And ends till one gets in bed at night

And may be during sleep too


Yet we understand 

That feeling 


We know that feeling 


We all have lived that feeling 


As a child 

As a carefree young man


And I wish 

All of you 

a lot of such precious

Carefree chill moments
