The Pendulum of Life

The shifts and changes always do happen They are part and parcel of our life certain And the vacillation continuously goes on Within the corridor of duality ad-infinitum. It is a steady cycle of comings and goings Bring in turn pleasant and upsetting results That makes us cheerful and gloomy by turns But that never stops us chasing our pursuits. We in our stupidity get carried by the swing Perch on cloud nine with a good happening With some gloomy event go into hibernation Thus get swayed by occurrences common. The beauty of living lies in remaining stable Not being predisposed by the things volatile Events do happen but fade away gradually And not allow them to bother us, needlessly. If summer comes winter does not lag behind On the back of sorrows many joys are seated Not getting oppressed by their prickly burden Is the secret of a happy life wholly contented.
