The Maze Called Life

In life, we often meet with ups and downs. The unexpected waits to pounce on us. In the wink of an eye life can take a u turn. We must solve the conundrum of life all alone. Tossed and shattered by breakers rushing upon Sometimes we are ripped apart, torn asunder, Landing in alien shores, in hostile situations. The night of weariness may suddenly descend. The lamp of life may be blotted out by sweeping gales. Many a time we get shattered in the throes of life. Life is often loss and pain, facing the unknown We do not know where our journey takes us. With masks on, we are destined to play our parts, Even after the music is over, till the curtain falls. As we stroll through this maze called life We never ask ‘whither’ and heedlessly move on!

Life is often loss and pain, facing the unknown We do not know where our journey takes us... So true and well said, Valsa. All we can do is embrace life facing the hurdles along the way. A potent message you convey.

I too am a-MAZE-d at how life keeps throwing me (and everybody I know) more green-purple snowballs every time I/we think we have it all figured out. ~ Frosted Fingers and Toes

So true. It is now already seven days since my accident, but improving. Your poem is so true to life. In Malta a woman sitting near the shore was swept away and drowned.
