Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Rhyme

What Life Means To Me

What life means to me






A pearl of dewdrop
that shines with each sunrise,
A string of hope
that can sustain any height,
Much joys, little sorrow
sweet, bitter or sour,
This I learnt in school
where I was taken a fool.

I would say its a merry go round
a whirlpool sure to drown,
Lots of ideas put to reality
vibrant colours its vitality,
Love, the immortal soul
with it you can live whole,
Crazy thoughts put to pen
critiques know better then.

A fragrant breeze that mesmerises,
An unexpected gift that surprises,
Inhaled breath we can hold,
cherished memories manifold,
All those griefs we behold,
Each embrace and scold.

It's just that subtle emotion 
a strong faith and notion
A frail body anytime can shatter,
Imprints kindness leaves on platter,
Life is this every present moment
to be lived to its full !

Suraj Jumani October 19, 2015 at 7:53 AM Nice poem on life Dr Upma. Life is about so many things - memories, perceptions, the highs and the lows. For me the last two lines are the most important though - living the present moment to its full potential!! Thanks for stopping by at one of my poems.
