Life Is
Life is –
Beyond definition, delineation or demarcation
A puzzle, more – a riddle!!
A hard nut too difficult to crack
An ocean deep with swirls and twists!!
None has seen it in full length or breadth
Rare, it takes the course we chart
Like travelers within a phantom ship,
We sail past to far unknown lands.
Through rugged waves, we drift along,
Either to perish or to be cast ashore
So elusive, Life remains,
Like the mirage over the stretch of sands.
Seems so easily within grasp
But far, it recedes out of grip.
Like a juggler performing tricks,
It holds people to watch and wonder.
Life remains a complex sum,
Far beyond our power to solve
Why rake your brain to fathom out?
Why knit your brow and look beyond?
Safe it is-
And wiser still-
To stay awake,
And take things in their stride.
