An Ode To Ordinary Days



I did nothing today

But nothing could have been anything.


I did the dishes today

And finally swept the dust beneath my bed.


I bought oranges today

And apples, as well as mangoes and bananas.


I read a book

Then, took a nap.


I woke up hungry

So I rummaged the fridge for leftovers.


In life, there is often so much to do

And so little time.

There is a lot to learn

Although, we can never know everything.


But, on those forgettable, fleeting days

When life seems to slow down a bit...


I suddenly feel the rush to do everything.

Everything, and nothing at all.

One ordinary day becomes a memory after it passes. But memories are a special thing to have.

So, perhaps, ordinary days are extraordinary

In many unseen and incredible ways.
