Learning

 

Life is all about learning and experience

Everyday you learn something new and 

Sometimes you learn to unlearn things

No matter, over the period we will grow 

But to grow from inside one has to learn

Keep your mind open like welcoming doors

So that you're open to learn from everyone

Experienced or inexperienced you always benefit 

Never leave a chance of learning from others

And then a time comes when you learn to give exam,

Life itself is a battle field where you face challenges

We all try one or the other way to overcome those

Keep pushing yourself so you don't get too comfortable

Learn something new everyday with a goal in mind

And have that drive to meet your goal

As learning never stops at any age!

Time

 

There are so many things to accomplish

In a tiny day that speeds up every time 

From dawn to dusk it’s like a few minutes

And there are few hundred things on mind

As the day goes by the list fills in the queue

Some you try to work on and some for later

A time which has no deadline as it keeps running 

Yet its one of the top most things to manage

Time is playing the game -catch me if you can

And sometimes you just get lazy to think about 

Something that you don’t want to face it 

Something that you want to do it but no drive

Finally one need to decide a time for it….!

An emotion

 

I may look pretty and happy 

And that's just my nature 

There might be issues

There might be pain

There might be misery 

But life is beautiful

I keep smiling with joy

For the beauty and love

I am as soft as any flower

Yes, I am soft from inside

And outside too yet 

If you come close to me

I can hurt you painfully 

It's just my way of staying safe

From all the fear inside me

I must go to sleep just like

My other siblings are asleep!

Expression!

 

In the midst of all the chaos

There is a space of her own

Where she plays, sings and 

Dances all around with grace 

Her imaginations and stories

Through her dance she express

The joy, sadness and anxiety 

Will this time pass away? When?

As there is hope yet hopelessness

Dancing on the floor with her feet

She expresses her despair and desire

But she keeps on dancing without any 

Anticipation !

Attachments !

 

Its been a long journey

Once I was born from a seed

Living in the middle of chaos

Life has taught me to face 

The ups and downs of weather

Be it for bugs or even animals

I have given shelter to all of them

The only sacrifice that I did in life

Not to move and create chaos around

I have the freedom to grow anywhere 

And spread my branch my space along

Yet, I am stuck here with attachments

Life can become a journey only to some!!!

City

 

My city which is still a home in my heart

Whenever I hear its name or a mention

It excites me like a child even today

The images are still green in my mind 

The roads, the walk, the rush to catch a bus

That pastry shop and evening hunger after college

All those moments and people around

Still I could see their face and place

My city is much different than any other

Wish I could get to see even once that same city

Those people and those buses, those roads

Taking home, college and the grounds of happiness

But today my city isn't the same!!!

~ Dawn

Happiness !

 

What is happiness? 

Your physical presence should be happy

Or is it your heart that should be happy?

You have all the luxury in life

But if your heart is not happy

Will you be happy then?

What others see in you as happiness

You may not see the same

Because it's your heart that conveys

What is happiness!
