LET GO

When joy comes in your life

Let it rest in your hand

Like a dainty butterfly

But hold it not

As one day it will pass

When sorrow comes a-visiting

Receive it with open heart

Look at it with courage in your eyes

But embrace it not

As one day it will pass

When love comes by

Live it by the moment

Drench in its colors

But attach yourself not

As sometimes it, too, does pass

Life is a temporary thing

It comes and it goes

In this timeless, endless space

Fret not about anything

Good or bad, it will end

Wise is the person who

Knows how to live

Day by day, night by night

Without roots, without bondage

Free…unattached…untethered

Live life with gusto

With lotsa laughs and smiles too

Take it not so seriously

It is just a cosmic joke

A dash of humor will go a long way
