Expectation

High hopes built on imaginations And human frailties A meandering mirage on hot tarmac at noon A recipe for hunger In hollow voices, whisper winds of expectations among the trees Drowned by the reality of sunrise Gaze upon the hills with starved emotions And welcome the verity of dawn Expectations take a dive When reality fails to thrive Illusion—the gateway to delusion Expect nothing, avoid disappointment Spend and be spent, hope for the best Find solace within Peace lies only in the deep Salad of ignorance, emotions and negativity is a recipe for grief Nourish not the nattering nitwits Lest you swim in a pool without water Intertwine twins of triumph and tragedy— A constant memento of life and death Purge yourself of dead weights Happiness lies within Only extract the worries Every success has a process Out of the belly flows contentment—the Opium ushering upliftment and fulfilment
