A Frenzied Life

Frenzy, bustle, and buzz…life.

The stimulus of modern-day strife.

Tranquil peace has flown its course,

And in its place is something worse.

 

Peaceful rest and quiet sleep,

Have fled away; no more to keep.

Replaced by stress and fevered rush,

Life’s simple times have become less.

 

Rushing here and rushing there,

With no relief, please do beware.

Our spirit lasts only so long,

With no recharge, we’ll soon be gone.

 

Why can’t we read between the lines,

And share in life’s quiescent times?

For frenzied stress can do service-

Only when joined with calming bliss.

Notes

These are my thoughts on the busy society that we live in. It seems that we are always rushing and "doing things", when sometimes it's good to just relax, meditate, and not do anything at all.
