Poetry for a change :)

Poetry by 'Kavidhai Sooravali' Tejaswi



We live but once - The Journey of Life

As the journey of Life begins, to each his own and the paths we seek,
seldom resemble so to speak

Time is of essence and every moment precious,
In this world so capricious,
as we march towards our goal
sometimes we tend to ignore our soul.

Some battles that were better, not fought
and forgiveness that couldn't be sought
Aplenty are the grudges kept
and the multitude of tears wept

Good memories , we must strive to keep,
and on bad days, forget to weep
For indeed we have a lot to cherish,
which sadly, without a trace, perish.

Live in the present and enjoy each instant
assuaging fears about the future, which is distant
pledge to live life by the day
while the sun shines, making hay.

As I awaken with a yawn,
to yet another awe-inspiring dawn
I remind myself, we live but once,
And I live mine by my conscience.
