Life resembles a stage of dramatics,
where we play our parts with great antics.
We’re here today but where tomorrow,
to the uncertainty points time’s arrow.
It is natural for everyone to have desires
to avoid pain and struggle, life’s mires.
We all wish for a little joy, peace and love
and probably a houseful of treasure trove.
Wealth may help us achieve the desired
but it is not what should be admired.
Happy memories are the true wealth,
that we gather during our good health.
There is a little secret of cognition,
the mind works through association.
The more we dwell and the deeper we go,
more fascinations and fondness we grow.
Anything that we associate with,
attaches to our cognition forthwith.
Removal is an effort and is painful
unless we keep discarding a brainful.
To leave the attachments without a doubt,
all you need is to grow up and grow out.
Let’s live through the present with grace,
even if the future is uncertain to embrace.
Cherishable moments that we create,
turn into memories that we collate.
Let's make the most of flowing time,
leaving behind the worries and grime.
Avoiding pain, guilt, worry and fear,
visualise the fruits good Karmas would bear.
Our thoughts create the future we want,
You can have a little or a lot to flaunt.
Logos has created reason in the cosmos,
making an imprint and letting go of our woes.
Let's leave attachments to rise and shine,
perception and wisdom make this life divine.

This beautiful poem reminds us that life is like a stage, where we play our parts with dramatic flair. We all desire joy, peace, and love, and perhaps a treasure trove of riches. But true wealth lies in happy memories and cherished moments. The mind works through association, growing fondness for what we dwell on. Letting go of attachments can be challenging, but as we grow and live in the present with grace, we create a divine life. Visualizing positive outcomes and leaving worries behind, our thoughts shape the future. 🌌🌺⌛✨
Oh Awesome! You summed it up really well. Thank you
Dear poet this poem seems especially significant, given that I am 73 and have passed through these stages of life, with perhaps only one to go. I have watched as my grandchildren, who've now reached adulthood, grew up and grew out. Your seventh stanza "Cherishable moments..." , a beautiful philosophy of life. A wonderful write my friend!
Thank you for the wonderful words M'aam!
