Poem
Life is living and to really live it, love it ! Life is a state of mind. It is there for the taking, man trying to master his own universe, choosing his own path and following it. Life is oneness with Mother Nature. To wake up early in the morning watching the rise of a new day, when the lazy old sun shyly and slowly peeks through the clouds, hesitant to do its assigned task. To listen to the chirping of our feathered friends perched on some leaf-covered boughs, uncaring whether they are in tune or not. Life is taking treks down memory lane and remembering moments that give us pleasure. Just like the great Casanova, a man who conquered many a woman's heart, who once said: "When I consider that what makes me happy in my old age is the presence of a memory, I conclude that my long life must have been more happy than unhappy. And then I congratulate myself." Life is giving meaning to any experience whatever it may be. It took a girl to turn me down before I was able to fully unburden my soul through a song. Ah, thirty years hence, I'm still thanking the girl for having the sense to shut me out of her life, in the process turning me into an...accidental songwriter! Life is the peace you get listening to the strain of a guitar in the still of the night. Music is the language of the soul. Life is soaring over the clouds and looking down at the universe as it unfolds before one's eyes. It is the freedom of an eagle peacefully gliding, surveying its great domain from way up yonder. Life is discovering new things and enjoying the delights they offer: a biologist finding a new kind of organism, a chemist discovering a new type of compound, a physicist uncovering a new page in his quest to explain the forces that govern his world, a poet who finds a new way of expressing himself. Yes, the wondrous giggles of a small child as she gets tossed up in the air by an adoring father. Life is going down on our knees to converse and chat with the Great Spirit, debating and quarreling with Him - and yes, cursing Him for some of the wrongs in His creation - but at the end of the day, trying to make peace with Him anyway. Life is surrender. It is the acceptance of the things that we cannot change and the willingness to acknowledge our strengths and weaknesses. The ability to laugh at our occasional fumblings and failures while balancing them with a healthy regard for our achievements however small. Life is...
