Mundane Birthday Wish



Amid routine days, a light does gleam,
A birthday's magic, like a cherished dream.
As constant as the sun and trivial, yet symbolic and true,
A cel’bration of life for you.

The sun rises as it always does,
But today, its rays shine with special buzz.
Payasam is eaten, deep’m all aglow,
A simple joy that hearts bestow.

Sari-clad, bangled tasks to the routine grind,
A birthday's respite, a pause to unwind.
With laughter shared and wishes made,
Trivial game where we keep not the score becomes a bright escapade.

A year's journey ‘round the sun marked by this Vinayaka Chavithi day,
A reflection of time's steady sway.
Routine, it seems, holds more than it shows,
For within its grasp, celebration grows.

So here's to the ordinary, the everyday,
For even in routine, a joy does sway.
A birthday's magic, a reminder to see,
‘nother year what does it mean to life's little moments, where happiness be.

Words and writing have always interested me, but the transition now is from scientific writing (which is based on logic and the rational) to a more emotive, lyrical form. At present this remains an experiment to see if I can strike the right tone, elicit a desired effect, etc. Full disclosure: I have been utilizing chatGPT as an "assistant"; I provide the prompts, edit extensively, yet the structure is provided by my assistant. I take full responsibility for the end result. Not that dissimilar to work on a scientific project in the lab, etc. more…
