we’re alerted by dings
through little boxes that light up our screen
we tune in when it rings
letting this machine set our scene
what if we were alerted by an internal ding
a little chime that lights up what’s beyond the screen
what if we tuned in before hearing a ring
living what’s within, creating our every scene
we once lived in a world without dings
a little existence lit up by humans, not a screen
we tuned in to whistles of nature, not blatant rings
listening to the heart, forgetting there was a scene
like anything, there is joy and goodness in every ding
sometimes the message lights up the inner screen
sometimes a smile comes when we hear that ring
knowing that connection is real and more than a scene
if we’re being fully true, life is more than a ding
being yourself is so much more than acting on a screen
there is a rhythm within, a natural ring
harmonizing our moments, aligning every scene

You did it again Grace, you found a great truism of our day and held it up for us to see ourselves in your “scene” I of course have lived more of my life without those external digital dings, and agree, in the now it is so important to connect, to reconnect to our internal dings and as you say, “we tuned in to whistles of nature, not blatant rings” Ahh yes, in our modern times your message is very healing and it’s important/ I love how you find just the right words to deliver it. Congratulations once again, dear Grace on your natural wisdom and brilliance to put into simple words, these profound truths. Such a gift to have you back and posting these gems.🙏❤️🤗🙏

It is our world, our reality, our way of being now – the ding. And yet it is important to at times wonder, ponder and try to find moments as if there are no screens – to find that space behind all noise and movement of today’s normalcy. There so much there is to appreciate all that comes through the dings too – your poem very wisely brings this together, awesomely done Grace.

You have very well highlighted the issue we are suffering from. A lovely piece of poem, my friend! Incidentally, ding in Hindi means “excessive self praise.”😊💖

Thoughtful and heartfelt writing…
“If we are totally sincere, life is more than a timbre.
being oneself is much more than acting on a screen
there is an inner rhythm, a natural timbre
harmonizing our moments, aligning each scene.”
Completely agree with your sentiment. To be oneself is to harmonize life in its very essence.
Hugs, dear Grace.
