Rush
Take a moment
When in rush…
Just started the work, already want this day to be done
Retire early, or the lottery needs to be won!
Snow is here.. You can’t wait for the winter to be over…
can time run any slower?
Life is good once summer is here...
oh, what a joy it will be everywhere!
And then, wait for a day that’s not too hot in the summer…
It is so hot… what a bummer!
Binge-watching a favorite series… perplexed,
Got to know what happens next!
Remember when Shakespeare said.. “this too shall pass”
Whatever you have is just now, it won’t last!

Life is here, life is now...
it is being ignored somehow…
The most displeased species on earth…
Convenience is abundant and stress has no dearth
It matters what you do with your time,
it’s precious and it’s not forever thine
Rushing through the present, for a better future...
oh! you can’t see it? It is unforeseen in nature
So, why this rush?
Listen to the clock ticking.. hush!
Every second of your life…
Is moving towards the final destination…
Do not rush the present moment,
For, we are walking non-stop to our grave .. our last station.
A small reminder that we have limited time in our hands before we become dust. Next time, leave for work early. So, you can enjoy that sunrise, that strange-looking fluffy cloud, or the new leaves on the trees. Didn’t you use to enjoy these when growing up? Most of the time there is no reason to rush until it certainly is. I have done it myself. At times, I feel I am in the race. But, it is just me, who am I racing with? Therefore, I have to step back and soak in the fleeting moments.
Hold that hand a little longer every time,
don’t miss to kiss your kids good night,
stop your car and enjoy your favorite song, with closed eyes,
Bite into that extra chocolate cake, without thinking about your size.
Sit with your kids, every so often,
and play with them without worrying about their sleep time….
Don’t ignore life!
P.S. Did you rush through this poem? ;-)
Thank you for your precious time. :)
