O what ye have been doing here?
I’ve been watching my life pass by.
Just that and nothing else?
Why, is not it enough?
_________________

O man, ye just cannot afford to be 
A mute pair of banks on meditation
Forever watching the river flow by,
Nor yet a stone getting grounded as sand,
Ye better watch this life of yours pass by
And try, be part of its perennial flow.
You’ve twenty-four hours a day and enough--
Nearly one and a half thousand moments, 
Each with potential possibilities,
This life’s no distant goal, it’s here and now.

O never think that thy life’s joy lies far,	 
Far off ‘pon finishing a given deed,
But ponder, true joy and bliss lies right here
Wait not for that moment thy deed is done,
It is in the adventure of journey,
Not just in reaching the destination.  
And yet, indulging in fancy dreams of
Destinations and thy goals duly scored,
Ye tend to forget very life to live,
Forget to give the due deserved by life.

Alas, we mankind has this bad habit
To turn all of the life unto habit,
To turn love unto mere relationship,
And that in turn unto material thing,	
Thoughts go in grooves of habit to get lame,
We fancy giving our feelings a name,
And try to fit moments to timetable,
To put on life on to a much-paved way
Rather than make a newly carved walkway
Our own, turn vibrant life into habit.

But why oh why should a man be like this?
Perhaps, he tries to insure all the life
And make it secured sans any a strife,
And sleep sound, assured like Kumbhakarna
Unmindful, he makes life a commodity.
What he likes he postpones for all his life,
And goes on doing what he never likes…
Till one day comes his life’s late, late evening,
Not having ever stood oh face to face 
With what’s his life. Full of regrets he dies.
