Life

Life

Sometimes, I wonder what life is …………

Life was a paper boat

That would float,

That would sink

Just in a wink.

Running in the water channels,

Babbling with the bubbles,

Dancing in the currents

Dangling in the torrents,

Taking the wows inside

Leaving the reminiscences beside,

Splashing with the innocence

would vanish in a glance.

Life is a flying kite

Scaling new height

Soaring into heavens

Teaching new lessons,

Kissing the skyscrapers

Amazing the kite lovers

Even when tied with a string

Demanding to have a wing

Battling with the mighty winds

And challenging even the gods

Snapping with a flutter

Fighting until it is a winner.

Life is a book of ours

With smiles and scars,

With stories unwritten

And songs unsung,

Timid or bold

with tales untold,

Recording our own actions

Reflecting our own emotions

Gets our destiny written

making us our own god

and, if once written,

cannot be changed.
