Life Was Beautiful

Life was beautiful

With the pictures and stories

Bubbles and colors

and monsters and fairies

Splashing of water

and buzzing of bees

Blooming of flowers

and dancing of trees.

Life was beguiling

In playing hide and seek,

Running in musical chairs

and the sneaky mischieves.

Unceasing imagination

For rainbows and the horizon

Smiles so amicable

And innocence ineffable.

Life became miserable

With explorations meaningless

Searches for happiness

And reasons for the actions,

Fabricating the truth

To defend the selfish self

Collecting experiences

To swallow all in one gulp.

Life became regretful

With the melancholic moods

The challenges and promises

Of various altitudes

Though there is no worry

To measure the depth of seas

Yet there is no potency

To gift a life of ease.
