🌷Life’s Essence…
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

Now a days our life runs on a fast-track 
That's why d intimate moments we lack 

Every single minute of d day is counted 
Der is no breathing space for a moment 

As if our life itself is a ‘horse’ from racing,
N all-d-time we're either running or riding

This is when a quiet weird theft happens,
When we spend rushing through our days

Discovery consists of d real voyage,
In new experiences n not in d landscape 

Most of our days pass so quickly,
Being inside them is only momentary...

They appear quite full from d outside,
Like busy, important n productive…

But when we've quiet-moment at night,
N try to recall what we actually felt right 

Surprisingly nothing is distinct or different,
But only fast paced hurried movements…

Just completing to-do lists n d stuff...
N we think that is what rushing does. 

Involvement is replaced by just finishing
Yet it makes us feel, fully exhausting…

As if it's meant just to impress others 
N to look really good from a distance. 

But what'd genuinely make body soften
What'd make our breathing slow down…

What'd make us feel quietly grounded.
N without lots of extra efforts needed…

What won't drain us even when it shines,
N when it sounds truly exciting…

It’s like something we'd really want.
Doing things to feel joy without exhaust 

Like without checking our phone, reading
Without thinking who’ll read our writing 

Walking freely without tracking steps. 
Cooking without turning it into contents 

Using our hobbies not to build from them 
But to feel ourselves happy inside them. 

Let's read to feel meaningful sentences
N do things to return to our ownselves 

Let's walk not to count number of steps, 
But to feel ground when our foot touches 

Let's cook not for d culinary perfection, 
But for warmth of process n satisfaction 

Let's write our mind, not for applause...
But for relief of expressions n happiness 

Der is something truly sacred about that.
Not everything has to become a format...

Action’s complete by being an experience
If we rush, we'll miss our Life’s Essence…
