A fly in the sky affords not a second

A fly in the sky
Affords not a second
To fail or delay its wings’ move.
Works that are postponed
Ultimately are the works post-burned.

Drinks served could be
Very sweet like honey;
But a man dead can never drink.
The works not done in time
Is never done.
It can’t ever be done
The way it was to be done in time.

Withering dry leaves are
Nothing but dust.
Trying later to do a work,
Not done in time,
Is like trying sex with the dead.
You can’t get a real feeling
And your opposite will not react.
It will be a dead dirty affair.

If life doesn’t mean actions of reactions
And accumulations of such reactions,
Then and there, it would become
An affair bereft of spontaneity and flow.

A mother delivers
When it is time for her child’s birth.
Otherwise, mostly, no child and no mother.
The delay will negate both child and mother.

Breath taken is sent out, then and there.
Any delay in sending the breath
In or out
Would mean "death".

Like we put it legally
"Justice delayed is justice denied."
Examples of these are a lot
For you to see in & around the world.

A flower remains as a flower
Only for 1 or 2 day/s.
That is the beauty of a flower.
Take care of it when it is to take care.

Any food to be had, has to be had
In its time.
Otherwise the food gets spoiled and wasted.

Water can be drunk only in water form,
Not when it is in vapors.

So, if doing, do it in time.
Delaying, for sure, will deny.
You will neither get the egg
Nor the chick.

Do you need to do
Or need not to do
Is a question different
To be answered differently.
Fort that,
You need to see the body whole;
Not only one hair or finger.
So that you will know
All its meanings and purposes.

But once you decide to do,
With knowing or without knowing,
Do it in such a way that it will serve
The purpose of doing and the thing so done.


Make sure that
Things are not half-done.
Half-doing of a thing is
Equal to punishing or killing the same.
Half cooked a thing becomes
Ultimately a waste
Of time, energy and things used for it.

Take up new tasks.
Novelty is the course of life and its spontaneity.
The real flow brings in
The novelties.
But, make sure
The old and told are finished too,
Or are scheduled to finish in time.

New projects or tasks
Are to be taken up
To give continuity chain to
The old and told
Not to cause non- finishing
Of the old and told.
Words are to be kept
To get them hatched;
Not to be broken
Unless for unavoidable reason.

Putting your hands in all, together,
Will get you nothing in particular.
Your hands will be dirtied,
Without getting or giving benefit of any.
