The Faces of Lfe

“Life is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone.” -Madonna Life can’t be known in its entirety, It seems to hide a part of its face, We can’t mirror its race, We climb on Hope's ladder. Life is a mystery, Missing pieces in puzzles, We sojourn in search of them, We're still far from the helm. Life is a journey, It’s end is out of sight, We bask in today’s light, Wake up in tomorrow’s gloom. Life is a portrait, Radiant yesterday, Gloomy today, We add our colours to conceal its blotches. Life is a book, Scripted by the unseen, No one has seen its last page, Not even the oldest sage. Life is a river, It meanders at some points, Undetermined by us, Determined by an unseen force.
