Elegy to a Mobile Phone

In our palms resides a tiny glow,

An oracle of life—a bright, humming bow,

Whispers of worlds within our hands,

A mobile phone, guiding distant lands.

A gentle alarm to wake us each day,

It sings morning tunes, chasing dreams away.

Messages ping, and the screens come alive,

As connections weave, in this digital hive.

With a tap, we conjure a faceless friend,

Sharing laughter and tears, as the bytes transcend.

A camera lens captures moments so dear,

In pixels, we freeze the time we revere.

From mundane tasks to grand adventures it brings,

It’s music and laughter, it’s life’s simple things.

Maps to the unknown, with a flick of the thumb,

An encyclopedia, where knowledge can come.

Yet, in its embrace, we sometimes forget,

The warmth of a smile, a loving threat.

We scroll through the pages, our faces aglow,

Oblivious to life, as the minutes flow.

Oh, a device of convenience, a blessing, a curse,

In this fast-moving world, we’ve put you first.

But pause for a moment, let hearts intertwine,

Remember the beauty of moments divine.

Leave the screen dim, let the world come alive,

Converse with a friend and let the laughter thrive.

For while you connect us through signal and sound,

The joy of true presence is where love is found.

So, cherish the mobile, but cherish the soul,

Look up from the screen, let life take its toll.

In balance, we find what it means to be whole,

For connection’s true depth lies deep in the soul.

Let’s use this marvel to bridge the divide,

But also embrace the world outside.

A mobile phone, our life’s little spark,

Yet life’s greatest magic often comes from the dark.
