Momentary choices

Momentary choices

The clouds cleared to frame the peak
A beautiful sight,to me,did speak

A transcendental moment, drawing goosebumps
To others,a great photo opportunity,that trumps

As tourists gathered around for a good shot
Lovers cozied up,not giving onlookers,a thought

Yet from this wondrous sight, one man had nothing to gain
With his back to it, he surveyed the mall in growing disdain

What is so great about this place? , he complained
We can find all these things at home, cheaper, he exclaimed

Oh mountains,he snorted,seen one, seen all
Fancy coming all this way,to see them stand tall

I stared at the man,blind to the beauty,so magical
But recognized his own truth in his outlook,practical

Understanding dawned to its own surprise
And in accepting this differing view, I did realize

Every moment carries in itself , an amalgam of hues
The one we see , is the one we choose.
