Leisure! Poem by Swati Vaidya

Life is life, or is it - - - -?
.... Is it Working to Live?
Or.... Living to Work?

Some things make Life Be -! !
Reading music of the Rain;
Lazy gaze at the new leaves;
Awed stare at the Mushrooms on the Trees;

And a long walk:
in the unfrequented bylane -
only to Smell Flowers of the most Inaccessible Tree!

Oh, how lovely these petty - pretty things...
Make the day a memory!
Make the living be life....!

Leisure, leisure, leisure -
Our personal ways of making our Existence a Life!
