The Art of Acceptance

Life's what happens, you see,
While you're scribbling plans, meticulously.
I dreamt, I believed, I loved with all my might,
'This is how it'll be, full stop, it's right!'

Built castles of hopes and dreams so grand,
But plans crumbled, leaving a hurting hand.
Life, like the wind, sweeps all in its way,
Brings sadness to the heart, keeps joy at bay.

Thought I knew the path, my journey defined,
But fate's a painter, one stroke, and it's re-aligned.
Variables shift like leaves in a gust,
Life's equation, no ready-made trust.

Oh, how we long to write its script and scene,
But little space for our desires, I glean.
Life's a free wind, a river's flow,
Carries our plans to shores we don't know.

How often plans shatter, drift far away,
Our life, like fragile crystal, day by day.
If hopes once break, they can't be made whole,
Can't mend the past, can't  glue together the life's bowl.

I tried, in vain, the shards remain,
Can't stitch, can't bind, can't bring them back again.
So I decided, no more plans I'll make,
Just life itself, for goodness sake.

Let it be, let it unfold, accept what's given,
Heart in fragments, yet I'll still be driven.
Life's an equation, with two unknowns,
That have infinitely number of solutions.

The art of acceptance, a whisper in the breeze.
Life's infinite equations - a symphony of ease.
Life's infinite equations - a journey to embrace.
With open heart and spirit I'll find my rightful place.
