🌷 N Make It Worth While...
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

We all have loving quality inherent in us 
We love Nature, our family, pets n plants

We've to navigate through chaos daily 
But we can't allow it to bother us heavily 

Der’s a subtle but profound difference 
In noticing d World n let it affect us…

For those of us who feel more deeply,
To get mixed up with things is quite easy 

Cold water is warm if hands R freezing.
Any food tastes good when we're starving

We take in emotions n energy around us 
Thinking that we’ve to fix all d things…

To observe is being aware n understand
We see n observe but no need to absorb

To love someone without any dependence
N without letting things deeply affect us 

Love is valuing them for who they’re…
Without feeling lonely by their absence 

It's like wanting yet not really needing 
We desire a future, connection n bonding 

Der's positivity in life, we need d same.
In mind we're whole with or without them

Der R times that tug at our heartstrings…
Let's feel deeply but no need of dwellings 

We've feelings of joy n also sadness…
But lingering feelings can be saddening…

We can note pain without letting it define  
Like we savour joy without fearing it’s end

D art is about observing n not absorbing 
Life needs all skills of better-balancing…

Our Inner Energy is precious n sacred. 
So let's take a good care when we spend.

It’s always better to set up d boundaries.
With others as well as with ourselves…

We need to know when to step back, 
To protect our space n rest to side track.

Life is beautiful n it's not just for survival,
We deserve to live n make it worthwhile.
