Enigma

Life is a puzzle,
I am trying to solve…
A dark mystery,
On which,
I am trying to shed light upon…

As I struggle to solve this riddle,
I seek from the creator, 
To place no fetters on my freedom,
Let me grow

As the world around me changes,
Like the leaves in the wild,
Turn brown from green
Basking in the yellow sunlight,
Dancing in the rains
Let me mature

Like the bees drawing nectar from the flowers,
A pair of mating butterflies
Exploring the garden’s colour,
Let me imbibe nature’s beauty,
Enjoying the fragrance of wet earth,
Like a meandering river in the hill,
Let me flow

Here lies a world in transition,
With no permanence,
In this growing society,
We need to adopt,
 And adapt to changes,
O creator,
Let me take pleasure
In your creations, 
In unbridled liberty
Let me live

Hi, SKAT A, is that your name? Little bit about me: I am 35. From India. Studying Law(LLB). Words are a nice way of sharing my thoughts with the world. And that's what I do when I write poetry. Well, would love to know little about you as well. Hoping to hear from you soon. Regards, Vinaya
