Seeking Simple Pleasures

images (16)Why do we call life a battle?
Why do we have to strike?
Why do we call ourselves warriors?
Who do we have to fight?
Life can be simple, beautiful yet plain,
Where we enjoy the play in sunshine and rain,
Where we can extend our hand and reach out to our friends,
Where we don’t inflict pain, in our self-defense.

Why by comparison, be a skeptic?
Why, is our reason rhetoric?
In our uniqueness, let us be free,
May you be you, please, let me be me!

Sometimes I think this fight has been planted in our heads,
To make us feel like warriors, to propel us with impetus,
Why in all this we, always believe?
Between us exist no war, neither any victory,
Here, we are all travelers,
Just seeking simple pleasures,
We all have to depart someday,
So, let us celebrate our  today!

It is between black and white, lies the life…

It is between feeling the pain and healing it, we evolve.

It is between letting go and not giving up, liberation reigns.

It is between silent tears and jubilant laughter, lies the mundane.

It is between deep silence and mindless cacophony, meditates a saint.

It is between emotional dependency and solitary strength, in togetherness, we bond.

It is in between selfless surrender and unfair demands, love gets worthy.

It is in being totally accepting and nonchalantly judgemental, we mend our egos.

It is while staying quiet and yet giving expression, love grows.

It is in being introspective and being reactive, life gets interconnected.

It is between unending darkness and ever-present light, life thrives.
