A Poem about Life - Consciously Aware
Suni Consciously Aware

Our journey throughout life
Can be richer if we feel
That we are valued in some way

The reality of being human
Means that we will make mistakes
Along the way

Human complexities show
That we are all uniquely different
A willingness to do our best
Does not always mean
That we will achieve the best

Even if you block it
At times awareness tends to find its way
Slowly into your mindfulness
You cannot prevent it from
It’s appearance on some days

With awareness and expectation
That life will change
It is inevitable that sometimes
The changes will feel strange

To recognize the inequity of circumstances
Is the reality that life is not always fair
Self acceptance deflects the pain of reality
To live your life with passion
Keeps away despair

Sometimes pleasure feels like a luxury
As we journey through each day
The busier life gets
The more essential it becomes
To stop a bit and play

Taking a little time for ourselves
Is necessary to our health in many ways
It provides energy and it rejuvenates us
In more ways that I can say

Self discovery is an elusive process
That helps to sustain us
To discover our significance
Helps us obtain the goals that inspire us

It is natural for us
To search for value and meaning
It is absolutely essential
To provide attention to our feelings

We cannot learn
Unless we open up our minds
Consciously aware to what it is
That we might find

We need to cope
With the complexities of everyday
We need the strength to conquer
The challenges that come our way
A lack of focus causes
Unconscious decisions
To live in the moment can help to relieve
Stress and diffuse tensions

When we do not make choices
We relinquish control
A lack of action can consume energy
More than you know

As humans we are defined by our actions
Attentive or mindless choices
We are each responsible for the consequences

It is necessary to cultivate awareness
It helps to establish your well being
With a little experience and making a choice
It will ensure that life will have more meaning

Awareness can enlighten us
Experience can benefit us
Values can sustain us
Intelligence can free us

Most of all
Life itself

Can fulfill us
