Be at peace

                                   Turmoil, turmoil and turmoil
                                         Not a day at peace
                                     Errors, slips, omissions 
                                       And their hangover
                                  Self cursing and repentance
                              Has become the order of the day

                                        But, not one or two
                                         Many live in peace 
                           Living in bigger storms and turbulence 
                                  The wise ones do not react
                                    They reconcile, respond
                                         And remain calm

                                    Life is not your subsidiary
                            It is a stream of unchartered waters
                         One has to sail according to its currents
                                      Washed out are those 
                                       Who ignore its spirit
                                   Essence lies in acceptance 

                                Enjoin the gain, forget the lost
                               Loss is a realty, not unlike gains
                                           All is not yours
                                  You will get only your share
                                 Contentment is the password
                                       To happiness and joy
