Title : And Maybe Now It's Time to....

By Sulsha Minal Mitesh Kapasi

And maybe now it’s time to pause, to take a breath and see,

The beauty in the simple things, the moments that set us free.

To let go of the burdens that weigh heavy on our hearts,

And find the courage to embrace the chance for fresh new starts.

Maybe now it’s time to listen, to the whispers of the trees,

To the songs of birds at dawn, carried on the breeze.

To the wisdom of our elders, whose stories shape our past,

To learn from their experiences, and make our memories last.

It’s time to seek forgiveness, for the wrongs we’ve done,

To mend the broken relationships, to heal and become one.

To understand the pain we’ve caused, and strive to make it right,

To walk the path of empathy, and bring darkness into light.

And maybe now it’s time to love, with all our hearts and souls,

To cherish those who matter most, to play our destined roles.

To show kindness without measure, to give without a need,

To plant the seeds of compassion, and nurture every seed.

Perhaps it’s time to dream again, to reach beyond the stars,

To break the chains of fear and doubt, to heal our deepest scars.

To pursue the passions hidden, in the corners of our minds,

To explore the vast potential, and the purpose we might find.

And maybe now it’s time to wander, to travel far and wide,

To explore the world’s wonders, with curiosity as our guide.

To climb the highest mountains, to swim in oceans deep,

To lose ourselves in nature, and in its solace, weep.

It’s time to find our voices, to speak our truths out loud,

To stand up for what’s right and just, to make our ancestors proud.

To fight for peace and justice, in a world that’s torn apart,

To build bridges of understanding, to connect heart to heart.

And maybe now it’s time to let go, of all that holds us back,

To release the fears and doubts, that keep us off our track.

To embrace the unknown future, with hope and open arms,

To find joy in every moment, and marvel at its charms.

Perhaps it’s time to reflect, on the journey we’ve endured,

To celebrate our victories, and the battles we’ve secured.

To honour all the struggles, that have made us who we are,

To recognize our strength and grace, and every healing scar.

And maybe now it’s time to believe, in the magic of today,

To trust the process of our lives, and let the worries sway.

To understand that everything, happens for a reason true,

To find the peace within ourselves, and let our spirits renew.

So let us take this moment, to acknowledge and to see,

That maybe now it’s time to be the best that we can be.

To live our lives with purpose, with passion, and with grace,

To create a better future, for the whole human race.
