Take a breather

Inhale slowly. Speak softly. Mellow down a little

Life is taking a U-turn and your spirit is brittle

Pointing fault of others will not let your conscience settle

Combining compassion with insight will strengthen your mettle

 

Listen attentively. Respond proactively. Don’t be a judger

Life is imparting novel lessons and your mind needs fodder

Open-mindedness will not let genuine feelings smother

Getting stuck in set beliefs and fabrications will bother

 

Reject dishonesty. Care intuitively. Kindness is the key

Life is removing pace and your time is for free

Times are difficult but time is precious use it judiciously

Add wisdom to your repertoire water the mind tree

 

The world is hurting. The have-nots are suffering. Sense

Life is offering opportunity and the scope is immense

If you can prove your worth to the mirror and not remain dense

If you could respond with love not fear and not sit on the fence

 

Cleanse the mind. Sanitize the heart. Sensitize your soul

Life is spring-cleaning and purging is your goal

Deliberate on ‘why’ of things mine the diamond from coal

Show some gratitude and your bounty grows ten-fold
