redirected me away, way more firmly
in spite of approaching discipline sternly
to ultimate destination carved just for me
Nothing comes to fruition before maturity
nature has a rhythm we push against adversely
in mad-rush for "success" we race absurdly
we overlook its impact on life's vitality
We're travelling since un-calendared aeons
human existence limits view to blaze in neons
blinders blur reality vs appearances put on
shallow, material, status become prize to cling on
Parents, partners, progeny, community join step for a while
journeying alone is a gift that sheds all rank and file
Closing earthly transactions, completing pending engagement
is our sole opportunity to chisel the “self” to optimal version.
