Aha Life a Reverberating Harp
life is a chessboard,
with kings, queens, and bishops,
knights, soldiers, charioteers...
multifarious maneuvering to
find their rightful place,
and winning is a complex race.
life is a lens in the camera,
capturing moments of exhilaration,
euphoria, exuberance...
supple memories are all held close
to heart…flashbacks startle,
images don’t fade away
when sun sets with scarlet hues
at falling dusk
life is a delicate ethereal harp
with reverberating resonant strings,
Aha! to pluck them, to stroke them
with gentle fingers ...dainty touch
to create a celestial song of love
life is not too many words,
but a few spoken with fervor…
a caress, a glance, an unannounced
promise… a heart unknowingly
given away.
life is a rainbow, all swirling
colours of the horizon woven together,
luminous, transient, fleeting..
quivering dewdrops on lotus leaves,
life is a meandering stream,
flowing through rocky rugged pebbles,
a choppy ridged course...
Oh Ocean
the ultimate destination!
