Ode to the Ordinary
A lovely homage to ordinary things.
Oh, simple thing that's often overlooked,
Amidst life's grandeur and the dreams we've cooked,
In you, the beauty of simplicity lies,
A humble gem that time can't chastise.
To thee, I raise a pen in homage now,
For you're the unsung hero, the quiet vow,
In the everyday rhythm, you're the beat,
A constant companion in each feat.
Ode to the mug that warms my hands,
As dawn's first light on the horizon stands,
In you, the elixir of mornings brewed,
Awakening my senses, my gratitude renewed.
With each sip, the world begins to gleam,
A journey embarked, a brand new dream,
Your handle, a bridge to a warmer place,
Where the troubles of life find a moment's grace.
Ode to the paper, blank and pure,
The canvas of thoughts that must endure,
Upon your surface, ideas take flight,
Bearing the weight of human insight.
From poets' verses to scholars' prose,
In you, the musings of the heart repose,
A testament to the human mind's vast range,
As imagination soars and wonders exchange.
Ode to the window, a portal wide,
Where worlds converge, and perspectives glide,
Through your glass, nature's art revealed,
A tapestry of life, freshly unsealed.
As raindrops dance and sunsets blaze,
You frame the scenes in your quiet gaze,
A silent witness to life's grand parade,
In joys and sorrows, you never fade.
Ode to the key, a tiny thing,
Yet what power you bring to life's full swing,
Unlocking doors and hearts alike,
In moments big and small, you strike.
With you, the future turns its key,
And paths unknown stretch wide and free,
You hold the promise of the great unknown,
In each click, a destiny is sown.
So, let us toast the ordinary dear,
For in its midst, we find what's clear,
The backbone of existence, the unadorned,
A tapestry of beauty, silently adorned.
