Live in the ‘Now’
Enjoy the ride — Prompt: The fabric of creation
Always mean what you say and do what you mean
Be kind, be strong yet be so very gentle
the heart is a thing not to mingle
You think you’ve your life chalked out
some lines you draw; some lines you screech
on a black board, with white chalk
you subscribe to life of pi ; 22/7; a circle of family and friends
and raise your power to a three — Me, myself and I
O but what is life if not filled with infinite possibilities
a step back you take, a step forward you must make
life is a rhythmic dance step, baby
if you’re too busy counting the steps; you’ll lose all the fun; you’ll not catch the rhythm in the beat
sometimes you’ve to clap for your own self
sometimes you’ve to pick your own pieces and recycle your trash
don’t throw it all out, you see; some one’s garbage is another one’s treasure trove; this is life’s art baby
with every breath you take , you put your life at stake
some poison you inhale, some poison you exhale
this is how respiration works, baby
sometimes you look for colorful rainbows in grey
sometimes you paint a picture in Dorian grey
it’s all in the mind, how you envision the world baby
The fabric of creation is your energy; the intangible in the tangible
light the world with your sheen
have you seen the red show time curtain?
as the curtain lifts up; the spirits of the fans also lift up and the play begins
the world is a stage, all actors in place, animated faces, two masks — one side shown, the other hidden, one to entertain, one to cry
which side to slap, no one knows; each one of us one has so many facades, multi dimensional in the the propelling world
which side you rely on the most, become your reality
the mind works in mysterious ways
we’re so good at multi-tasking too; always looking busy or pretending atleast
so get up now and shake it off; block the noise
flake off the toxicity; set your mind free; life is not a Masquerade ball
don’t hide behind masks, show your self; shine in your true beauty
shrug off the pain, the tethers of your soul, engaging you in insane routines
you must break them; life is now; in your very being, within your reach
your soul lives in moments, in the now, a time traveler, you may not yet become baby
so breathe out, calm down and carry on, for life is a train abound to a universal passage baby
hop on to life’s carriage; it travels fast; miss it and you might question your sanity
slow down and take a breather; sometimes in the rain, the smell of autumn lingers too baby
the pebbles of the past; leave them be; like ashes flown in the air; remnants of your old self; flown with breeze, travels freely; build a future in solid gold!
for all that was mess and complications; leave it; do the Marie Kondo cleansing of the soul; find peace in simplicity baby!
life is now; in this very moment; live for You; You’re enough; may peace be with You, God bless You; I’m off to a new start
may You too start your journey with a new beginning, for life is short but the ride is long if you’re lonely; so take along a few family and friends and enjoy the ride too baby!
