'I wandered lonely as a cloud'

I was day dreaming in the afternoon and came across this poem,

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

-William Wordsworth

This poem reminded me of my schooling days, where we have to learn, memorize and understand the 'deeper' meaning of it (which til now I don't know it) but I love it anyhow. The poem shows the beauty and peace of nature. Beautiful - one word to describe it.

'best explained by word, what Wordworth's word, he called ' the most philosophical of all writing' whose object is "truth...carried alive into the heart by passion".

-William Wordsworth

Piece of my mind

Hi!
I have always wanted to write a blog for years but never came round to it until now. I am so used to write in my personal journal and trust me I do have many that I don't know where to store them anymore. So, now I have decided to do something out of the ordinary -which is to write online (ha..nervous..) The only difference is that now I will have real life audience reading this... :)

Well, better cut it short. This blog is specially for me to share my thoughts on different things around me, either through experience/s, something to learn, live, work and lastly of course things which are fun ---PLAY!!

It will take a little more time for me to 'settle in' comfortably, so bear with me...I am one computer id**t :)
