Spirals of Life

What is life
Is it only materialistic?
Is it only
Money n possessions?
I don't agree.

Ever felt sad,
Coz you had a reason to be happy
And resources to celebrate
But
No one to join your plate?

Happens many a times
How much ever we deny it,
But it is a truth well defined
That
Relations - are the essence of life.

How blessed are we all,
Gifted with relations
Even before we know it all.

We meet lots of people,
We talk to many,
We like some,
And few become own.

At times we are blinded
By the glow of one such relation,
And we don't even come to know
When and how
We move others out of vision.

Why is it so
Can we handle only one relation
At a time?
Is it like a metal rod in our hand,
That can have only one other end?

Probably not...

Relations are like a spiral,
A spiral circle of silken threads
And we - at the centre.

It is our choice
And we decide
Whom to place in which of the spirals
The distance from centre -
Symbolic
Of the distance from the heart.

But each of these spirals
Can hold many people.
And remember,
The strength of threads,
Is more closer to the centre.

Its the most wonderful aspect of life
That adds color and brightness,
And makes a lonely dot in the centre
Feel good by this togetherness.

But the dot also has a responsibility,
To keep all spirals at appropriate distance
By its force of gravity.
Gravity here -  is the behaviour,
The affection and the care
For all those
Who entered the maze of his life.

Don't do the mistake of
Counting only one relation
And neglecting the rest,
For it makes the spiral twisted
And might break the silken threads.

Handle with 'Care'
Is a word of caution,
Respect all relations
And your life will blossom.
