Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!
The snap is mine. Clicked on Eastern Express Highway, Mumbai. The content is written by Kalidasa. Copied and posted shamelessly.
Well, each line made me relive a peaceful and serene dawn on a drive. And my very thinking of that sereneness made a difference to my today ! And prompted me to post.

Lovely picture and lovely poetry. Even if the poetry is that of Kalidasa, the two go well together and and promise us a hopeful ‘today’.
Unusual mood for Kalidas…nice photo too Kavi….
I am thinking what if I add K at the start of my name.
K people are intelligent.
😉
nice snap Kv…
At first, I was going ‘wow, wow’, then it started sounding wee bit familiar, then more… until I struck upon the phrase ‘content by Kalidasa’. Thanks for sharing, kavi!
Good pictures….goes well with the poetry.
Manju, Braja, Hobo, Ashok, Napervill Mom, Praveen :
thank you ! I humbly say thanks for the kind words on the snaps and the mixing.
The poetry titles will be passed on to Kalidas. Someday !
Just wanted to ask if you have thought of putting a copyright mark on your photos so they don’t get copied onto other people’s website? It can be a simple watermark or your name across the photo or something
Lovely picture! Is it sun rise or set?
Great!!
I do not know how I missed this!Kavi, you have another vocation in life – Photography and to top it all you have a keen eye for things. The photo is just beyond imagination.
