Drink your wine with the high view
from a penthouse
but,
don’t lose the common touch of
dining by the roadside
Love as if you are loving for the first time
but,
don’t lose the common touch of
a broken heart
Drive away in a posh car
sensitive to your touch
but,
don’t lose the common touch of
two-wheeled bicycle
Sleep on the sheets of silk
wrapped under cloudy comforts
but,
don’t lose the common touch of
drifting into a sweet dream on your mother’s lap
Work in a private air-conditioned
flexible space of global reach and connectivity
but,
don’t lose the common touch of
first drafts and mind maps on a paper that costs nil to nothing
Enjoy your meals on a platter of silver
served by a personal butler
but,
don’t lose the common touch of
supper with your family and
feeding the world’s hungry mouths
By the day,
be worshipped for your soul of divine and timeless work
but,
don’t lose the common touch of
gratitude and prayer under the
shade of your night lamp
Smile so kind, for that’s the child in you
Be so wise, for that’s the ancestor in you
So to keep, the common touch alive in you
XOXO RN💋
