Leisure

I intensely loved to have leisure  

To have ample time for unlimited fun and pleasure

To pursue hobbies like sewing, embroidering,

 Watching TV, painting

Or sitting silently watching the wonders of Nature.

" No leisure, no life

Only duties and duties in the office

And at home heaps of daily chores"

Was my constant complaint and growling grief.

But now no office, no work

Only leisure,

Limitless leisure,

But it sits on my head as a massive bulldozer,

No crowd, no traffic

Leisure with such a strange huge silence 

Is a terrifying giant

That blows out from its nose and mouth fire of fear

With suffocating fumes of doubt and anxiety

Combined with appreciation and uncertainty.

Leisure is now a nightmare

With a sense of insecurity

Sans creativity,

Leisure is now a double-edged sword

That not only murders the zeal to enjoy the glorious Nature,

But also slits the wings of a dream for a safe and secure future.

Leisure is now eerie and painful

As time is lying inactive like a python after consuming its victim.

The only way to utilise this unbearable leisure

Is to pray the Almighty and wait with patience

For the revival of lost spice of life again.
