The most ordinary things in life
Are extraordinary
No riches in the world
Can buy these ordinary things
Aroma of the rose
Smile of the sun
Song of the birds
Rainbow in the sky
Can you buy the rainbow?
Can you buy the smile of the sun?
Can you buy the song of the birds?
Can you buy the aroma of the rose?
No you cannot
So, accept ordinary things in life
Because they are not ordinary
They are very extraordinary things
Presented to us by the almighty
Can you buy the pristine dew?
Can you buy the full moon night?
Can you buy the salubrious zephyr?
Can you buy the flash of the lightning?
No you cannot
No man is rich enough
To buy these things
But even a pauper
Can enjoy them for free
So, don’t complain
That you don’t have a car to ride
Because there are millions, who have never seen the car
Call yourself fortunate that you have seen the car
Learn to accept and appreciate
Those things that are nearer to you
And those things that are ordinary
Because, only our thinking makes them extraordinary
For the sage,
A car is nothing
More than the means of transportation
But for others it is the symbol of prosperity
Happiness is inbuilt
You cannot buy happiness
Money is not the source of happiness
It is just an input to the happiness
I agree, we need money
For our survival, but it is not
The only thing we need for our survival
Tell me how can we subsist without love
We all are
Running after money
Leaving love far behind
In the passage of circular time
Is it because?
We are addicted to money
Or is it because
Money is the religion of the modern world
Are we born?
Just to earn money
Is it our only goal?
Is it the reason of our survival?
Aren’t we born?
To soothe
The heart of the humanity
By sharing compassion and love
I'd buy your book if you had one, please put these together in a book!!!

superb writing! we are indeed far richer than we care to accept,I would rather chase the wind than sit on top of a mountain of gold.Life is simple and wonderous.
Yes indeed! Life is in the details. Gosh! If only others would pay this kind of attention. My applause to my fine poet friend. Love....makes the world turn.
I started reading silently and then stopped! I had to hear my voice saying every word. I love the way it sounded! Your thoughts are profound. Peace N Love,

Bhuwan,
This is very meaningful. It brings back times when everything was new and wonderful. We see, enjoy, and marvel over these things more when we are small children.
That why the Bible says,"Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."
You sure do come up with some very spiritual writes, Bhuwan!

Now lad you are heading skyways so fast, that they will be paying you just to write poetry.
Question is. what will you write then, don’t I ask some awkward questions.
But seeing that it’s the only way I will ever find out. I have to ask them.
Good stuff, well done.
My hand is in your hand
For richer and poorer
Till bad signal do us part!!
Because love will always be part of us Bhuwan!!
Thank you for this write of pure wisdom my friend!!
God created master poets, some who use their talent to enlighten mankind. Bhuwan Thapaliya is one of these, ever spinning truth tempered in love.

Bhuwan: Yes, the best things in life are free. You truly can't buy happiness. True happiness comes when one reaches the point in one's life that she/he discovers this fact. I have spent years of my life chasing after material happiness. It does not exist. Money can certainly provide for our basic needs, and even increase our comfort level. Thank you so much for sharing this "Extraordinary" poem. Your mind is one of simplistic beauty, which radiates extraordinary wisdom at such a young age.
This is very good. We need to stop to smeel those roses and to feel those rays of sunshine. Seems the world is spinning so fast we need to hang on to keep from falling off
bravo Bhuwan !!!
One can easily become addicted to your extraordinary poetry, Bhuwan. Yes... it's when we find ourselves addicted to extraordinary things like "the pristine dew, the rainbow, the aroma of the rose" and, through this, addicted to love - the ultimately extraordinary gift - that we are truly rich... and truly alive.

Bhuwan this one is a masterpiece! The wisdom you have is priceless, and you put it to good use by inspiring others to see what is real and what has meaning! Thank you!
Five years have passed. The sequel to the award-winning Chapel of Eternal Love, this book revisits the same couples in the first book, and where the lives have taken them since they left the altar at The Chapel of Eternal Love
