Journey of Life
Like a bud on a bough
Wakes up with the kiss of breeze
Blows like a rose attracting bees and butterflies
With enchanting beauty under the canopy of skies
Entices, charms, dances, smiles and laughs
Allures, attracts, loves, sings and sighs
Conquers, demolishes, builds and wins
Climbs on the peak of glory and spirits
The cruel claws of autumn lay in ambush to maul it
It droops, fades and withers like a flower
Ravaged by the hot winds of change
Ends up in the abyss and dust of non-entity
Abandoned by love and betrayed by friends
It languishes, grieves, broods and cries
With the inner flame of self it fries
Imprisoned in a tattered body it suffers in agony and perishes.
