Learnings

And I have learnt..
To be at peace,
By loving without expecting

To stay calm,
By not predicting the future awaiting

Learnt the strength a group holds,
By participating and not competing

To silence the constant blabber of my anxious mind,
By going with the flow of my heart still beating

To not fear embarrassment,
As failing is more comforting than never trying

To be not afraid of the hurt love brings along,
As I wouldn't want to miss out on the emotion which keeps each life moving

To stay unfazed by the passed judgements,
As I realised they never make any difference to my being

To laugh at myself often,
Cause I realised I need a lot more jokes to keep my sane self going

To not avoid adversities,
As they are always around the corner, no fun not playing

And to not fear death,
As it holds my journey's final ending..

When you can make a difference
Bring a change
For a better future,
Better living
All the tomorrows
Which can be wiped off,
Of the gloominess that darkness accompanies..

Ain't only about the books
It's also about the bats, the balls
Which can never be held in their hands
For what lies ahead is only the blurred margins

All the greens of the fields,
Which will be missed.
The glaring orange of the Sun.
The bright red of the chillies, burning your tongue
You would want to see..

The view of the dark bulging clouds, ready to pour down a spell,
Along with their thundering anger.
And the thick branches in their hugs across the streets.
The brown of the earth,
The sky blue reflected by the clear blue still of the lake.
To rest alongside the streets, chasing the colour pop of a butterfly..

Things which you believe only when you see..
Imagination gives you wings,
But to take that flight
You recall all you've seen.
Close your eyes
And finally jump in..

So when you can make a difference,
Even a small one.
For them to savour the many rainbows the sky of life beholds
You must have done something right, after many wrongs..

( P.S - School eye camps are lot more fun than imagined! 😅 )
