हमने पाल रखे हैं
उम्मीदों को
हाथी की तरह…
पर पूंछ भी कब
निकल जाती है,
एहसास ही नहीं होता…
🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
We nurse
our expectations
like tending to an elephant,
but we’re oblivious
when even its tail
slips away unnoticed…

We should not have expectations that we cannot achieve because the disappointment is too great.

Yes very right our expectations always become high without understanding that it can’t happen.

We do tend to get distracted by the big stuff, when the signs of departure are right there (and perhaps repairable?) In the smallest of tail flicks.
That’s how I’m reading this: clever, succinct, and spot on.
