Cycle Of Existence

A painting on my easel…
a portrait of ultimate truth.
at twilight, the setting sun glimmering
onto the sapphire waves of the ocean,
the gossamer light
of the melting rays shimmering,
on the dock, gray and cracked!
at dawn, the sun will bring back the warmth,
for all creatures to rise and soar!

Life is a cycle,
a wheel of existence!
Birth, Youth, Death -
an eternal journey from beginning to end,
ultimately blending with the universe!
in the middle, joys and hopes, sorrows and cries, 
carry us through the strenuous paths
of the darkness in the world!

A baby’s birth, most delightful event
in human reality, our path leads
us to either success or failure,
but we are not defeated!
we walk many miles
throughout our life,
to find happiness and peace, envisaging 
children follow our footsteps,
when we cease to exist,
we pass the torch to the
next generation who carries
the legacy, the strength, the courage
to fight, to declare - life does not
stop, it continues to move on to
everlasting goals !
