Jay Narain Poet Grook

On life

Quote: “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” -- Mae West 

Life's a puzzle, quite unknown, 
With pieces lost and found anew. 
The more you force the parts to align, 
The more you see they don't quite knit. 
Get out of the tangled web,
Step back, take a broader view, 
And see life reveal its subtle aspects, 
In the gaps and twists, you'll explore, 
The art of living, 
Well defined.
