The Art Of Doing Nothing Or Art Of Being Poem by Umasree Raghunath

The Art of doing nothing or art of being

I kept running all my life
Chasing targets and goals
Meaningless corporate milestones
Every day was an agenda
Calendar filled with useless funda
Legs hurt, brain fogged
Muscles ached, nerves cried!
I kept running like a mad dog
Ignoring the signals of brain fog!
I was happy I m being
Raising like phoenix 🐦‍🔥
One fine morning! ! !
Alas! I blackedout almost dying! ! ! !
After hours when I woke up....
The rhythms of monitors scared off!
I could have been dead
For letting my life vultures fed;
I learnt the lesson hard way
That we sometimes need to stay
With art of doing nothing
Relax, reflect and just being!
Stop before it's too late
From the rat race to fate
Staying quite doing nothing
Sometimes happens to be best thing!
When you are confused, don't act!
When you are in anger,
Don't speak!
When you are in crisis,
Don't decide
When you are desperate,
Don't chase!
Life gets better n beautiful
With silence and flow truthful! ! !
Embrace life with art of being! ! ! !
Sometimes just doing nothing! ! ! ! 🌟
