Lessons of patience

We are always in a rush,

to reach early, in our station,

not giving a thought for peoples,

that too are participating...

In this race for life. 

As everything was built,

for our conveniences,

from widened roads,

to faster vehicles. 

Have we ever wondered,

How life would be...

if privileges were lost,

under the weights, 

of nature's constraints? 

We have to learn, be conscious,

having left with no other options,

becoming mindful, of the movements, 

in concurrence with our surroundings. 

And we let them teach lessons,

while driving in difficult terrains,

along their twists and turns,

for understanding the true value...

Of our patience. 

For, we have to surrender,

our urges to race or overtake,

when, the paths were unforgiving,

and we couldn't afford mistakes. 

So, we learned to be humble,

regardless of perceived status,

calming anger or frustrations,

while becoming part of the traffic... 

Finally realizing, 

this lesson, of patience.
