Life is too short













Like rainbows, life is too short

for conflicts, disagreements
disharmony; hurdles
heinous huddles, false judgments, 
that do not help us grow.

Like snowfall, life is too warm

for cold war, feuds, battles
bloodshed, hatred,
utter meaninglessness 
anger that makes us low.

Like dewdrops, life is light

the halo that shines behind
is too full with healing glow
to sulk in the disease of darkness,
that disallows us to let the germs go.

Like raindrops, life falls in love;

when hearts do not concur
let them be, when smiles do not confer,
not to worry, know that differences 
at times don’t mellow.

Like falling leaves, life is too giving

to be snatching from others
power, pelf, position, possession
that we seek, like beggars;
nature, the benefactor, we fail to follow.

Everything outside is way too transient

like those footprints of a camel
in a desert, life is walking away
in every moving moment

yet it pumps constantly inside.
like a voice that alerts, draws us into the present; 

redundant emotions, unkind words, like worms
that weaken the wise and lively organs
are not of any worth.



I should have named it 'Unconditional apologies'
