Inspired by Silent One's Contest theme "A Time To Reflect" (missed deadline to join)

"we are All pawns in the chessboard of an Unknown skilled magician..." (By Poet) On a calm tranquil afternoon, When playful chirping and cooing Of birds lavishly entertain my senses, I drown myself in reverie and retrospection, Of times past, times spent well, And times my mind was occupied with - The mysteries of a universe I will Never be able to fully comprehend! Birds twitter, birds croon to each other, I watch life moving at a lulling slower pace, Rose bushes leisurely sway, breeze converse With the rustling leaves, clouds float languidly In endless azure, sailboats sailing in emerald ocean, Picturesque, perpetual, blissful! Life is an endless stream, a voyage to unknown, Life is made up of impossible dreams... I gaze at a dreamcatcher, unachieved goals No longer make me feel bleakly miserable, or discontent, My life is full with lilac aspirations, not failed achievements! Does it matter in The ultimate scheme of things, we are All pawns in the chessboard of an Unknown skilled magician, who smiles at our Arrogance, blesses all his children Unaware of the profound truth of life And Death! Nothing remains, nothing will remain, Impermanence is the stark truth of life, We feel elation in the tangerine trifles of a voyage... The journey makes the difference, Not the end!

I appreciate you sharing your insights and wisdom via this lovely poem. I agree. Life is an endless dream, a voyage into the unknown..and we're all pawns on a chessboard, or so it seems. I enjoyed your words about the permanence of the impermanence of life. Profound indeed. The journey (in my mind) makes a huge difference. What a delightful poem! wishing you a pleasant evening, Sara
