Sad but true.
“Make yourself so happy so that when others look at you they become happy, too.”
— Yogi Bhajan
What is a matter of time?
The ting that goes on
and never ends?
In a matter of time
You see a sapling turn to a great big tree.
You see an egg hatch into a bird, chirping on that tree.
It’s only a matter of time- and,
you’ll see a million of changes around.
Your shoe doesn’t seems to fit you any long.
In a matter of time,
you start smiling
after when you were crying.
The world keeps changing around.
The period when you were a child has gone and
now you are young and much strong.
And you soon, realize, it’s just a matter of TIME...
-Vaishnavi Singh
Written by me. I just wrote that previous topic, to compliment this poem.
God, give me wings so big and strong which will make me fly high in the sky, but don’t let me forget what it was to walk slowly along the beautiful countryside. Please keep me happy but not so much, that when sad times come, I break down. Make me have all the happiness and luxury but never let me forget what fun it was, treating your friends at your own birthday party. Make me a good person, but not that much, that I don’t remember annoying friends anymore. God, keep me busy with work, but not that much that I don’t get time even for myself. Make my friends happy and rich, but don’t let them forget, the love we share. God give me these things, this is what I care for. Don’t let me keep any other thing in my priority, other than Nation, Family and Friends, because other things deserve to be secondary. Give me the power to be a good listener and a good speaker, so I can always lend an ear to people in need, and give them the best advice.
This is all I want, you to be with me always and guide my way.
BEACH GIRL
There was this girl,
I saw that day.
Running along the shore,
Running as she may.
She was beautiful,
She was different.
The Sun seemed to reflect her shine,
All eyes were on her, even mine.
She felt like the winds,
Soaring to meet the waves.
She was like the sand,
Wet and warm.
All the assumptions I made,
Must have been true.
I never heard her speak,
But it must have been like flute.
I remember I tried to catch her,
Like a butterfly floating in a garden.
I tried to follow her,
But sadly lost her trace.
She disappeared in the waves of sunlight,
And the sparkles of water saline.
She must have been a thought,
But the prettiest I've ever got.
Have you ever thought that whether are we really living a LIFE, like we should?
For me the answer is “NO”. Our daily lives today are bound to offices, schools, studies, jobs, computers, mobiles and so on, but it is not what it should be. We humans are able to express our feelings like we want to, but, we are not using that power are we?
In our daily rush we forget to take care of things that are far very important than things like mobiles, computers, X-Boxes and televisions.
There are things more worthy of our valuable attention like, nature, animals, birds, etc. but do you think that are we doing our part? Our life has become a play, where we HUMANS act like dummies who have forgot about feelings and relationships completely. I believe animals would surely say, “Humans please behave like you should, because we also don’t act like sometimes you do!” Faking emotions isn’t right, is it? Of course it is not, it is just like fooling yourself,wearing a mask on your face. I think we have done enough for technology an now it’s time for ourselves, family, friends and all others. Enough of playing MINECRAFT and ROBOLOX and all the other games, let’s play what we used to in an open airy ground. I think it’s time to cuddle a living being, whether it is a pet, an animal or a human. Because of technology people became close but their hearts went very far away from each other, let’s bring them back. We are just becoming enemies of our own eyes exposing them to such radiation and bright lights, let’s give them a break, a treat with a beautiful view of nature, that comes free. Why are we being so greedy!? Even a lion never attacks when it’s not hungry, then why are we so greedy for everything? I suppose our lives are going on pretty well even without a PALACE or a BMW. Humans are social animals, let’s not get caged with things that worth nothing. Let’s socialize again, not on social media but a in a real society.
The problem is that we try to seek happiness in money and promotions and we completely neglect that the best things we can get out of life, are all free. They are provided to each and everyone of us. We just too busy to notice them maybe. Remember when you last admired the starry night outside? No?
Let’s pause, just for a second, think that are we really living a LIFE? Take a deep breath look around and you’ll soon get to know that the best things never left you, they were there, all this time and you just never noticed. Neglect the things that deserve to be , not your life.
LIFE IS MEANT TO LIVED AND NOT NEGLECTED.
