Life is beautiful but fragile,
With all of us fighting a silent battle.
To secure and have a better future,
A future we can only picture.
We don’t know how tomorrow is going to be,
Maybe we will see moons, three.
I may not be there anymore to greet thee,
And the fortune I made I will never see.
We save and sacrifice for things unseen,
Breaking and doing things mean.
Living in denial and idolizing other’s lives,
In this chaos and madness, I hope your heart survives.
For a change drop your thinking caps,
Take some time for yourself and relax.
Why you may ask me not to worry about future,
That’s because of its unpredictable nature.
To the wounds of past, it is the stuture.
But what you have now is all that you can nurture.
Lovely and apt words Ramya. The following sum up everything I believe
For a change drop your thinking caps,
Take some time for yourself and relax.
Yes we need to relax, to look around to enjoy and live not run through life.
Beautiful words Ramya. A very valuable lesson too. I need to follow this.
I loved this Ramya. Especially the lines “For a change drop your thinking caps,
Take some time for yourself and relax.” We need to take a step back and relax more don’t we?
Beautiful lines and sum up our lives.. I especially like this last line…. all that you can nurture….. If we take care of what we have all else follows through.
So well said, Ramya. While planning is important in life, it is even more important to balance it with spontaneity and living in the moment. You have a way with verse.
My favourite lines, “Living in denial and idolizing other’s lives,
In this chaos and madness, I hope your heart survives”
How true, Ramya! We add more chaos to our lives by simply focusing on the future and not enjoying the current moment. A mindful living needs to be pursued. Lovely poem, Ramya!

There is so much going on in our minds at a time that we get exhausted doing nothing sometimes but only think. Yes, we should relax with empty minds. Nice poem for our generation.
Lovely Ramya… Hope we start enjoying ourselves as well in the race of life
Lovely, Ramya. ‘A future we can only picture’…so true. I loved your choice of words and how you managed to make it rhyme. Well done!

Beautiful poem as usual Ramya, and such an important thing to remember – the present is all there is!

Yes..life is really unpredictable. You can never judge the future and never know what’s going to happen next. I find it really scary – The uncertainty and the unpredictable life. As I have seen so many things that I really wish sometimes that I should have known before.Nice poem Ramya.

Agree Ramya as mush as planning is important… We need to take things easy and catch that breathe once in a while. I feel it helps us to get a different perspective of things as well.
Beautiful poem, Ramya! The choice of words, the rhyme…everything reminds us how important it is to focus on the ‘now’

Nicely put, Ramya. We do need to ‘change’ our thinking hats to see the way forward, make a change and live in the present too. Of course, planning is good – but too much is sometimes ..well, too much.
