Surprises Spice Up Life

Surprises Spice Up Life


Life’s full of surprises that spice up our Life:
Common surprises; strangest of surprises...
Drive around town; visit the eventful circus
Go to Church; visit the school, the cinema
Immerse self in adventure; in treasure hunt,
You’ll admit that Life’s full of surprises!

People endeavour to outwit one another
By fair, by foul- by right or by wrong
It’s alright- Life’s full of surprise surprises.
Surprises of Life deliciously spice our Life
And make Life a pleasure and reason to live
Life that’s worthy to live and to die for.

This hour bestows what Last hour did not
Each day, each New Year meet surprises;
Be they challenges terrible or News so Good
Surprises spice up Life to make it worthy...
We welcome a New Friend, a New Neighbour
Gift, Surprise, New Soul Mate with glee.

Life is full of surprises that spice up Life....
Like an impulsive friendly kiss from a Fan,	
Learning a New Phrase for an Old Concept....	
Life is full of surprises that spice up our Life.
Surprises make mundane Life pleasurable
For he who yearns for more knowledge.

The Spice of Life whiffs through surprises
Surprises from a surprise visit by loved ones
Surprises that emancipate us from cocoons
Of Life Dull, choking and vastly uninteresting
To sunder doors of burgeoning opportunity
By which discerning Minds meet their bliss.

Every breath, every heartbeat, blink of eye....
These are minute surprises that stir us all,
Forgotten surprises that spice our Lives
Surprises that warm our blood, our body
To fire our bellies to dare and to aspire,
To overcome adversity, to sustain our Hope.

Surprises of Life; cheerily spice our Life
Turning the distraught to progressive people
People not weather-beaten as Ozymandias 
But people who are vibrant and itinerant
A people always crossing the Red Sea of throe
To venture into new Frontiers of liberty!

Life’s spices vibrating in the skin of surprise
Lend our nimble bone power and poise
To turn drawls of fickle to positive noise
Bombshell drop; telling right from wrong
By openly challenging those who are strong
To free captives locked inside tight skins.

Life’s full of surprises that jerk us to see self
Not as Wretched of The Earth so hopeless
But folks scheming to find common ground
To face change together, share the dream,
And find in adversity, the reason to coexist
And to celebrate serendipity of a surprise!

As a general rule of thumb, I hate surprises lol. I hate getting caught off guard. But so long as it's a good surprise, everything's cool. Bad surprises are terribly disruptive to my sensibilities lol. Great poem, JM! :)
