Life

A single word yet so intricate,

What is 'life' can I interrogate? 

For a child, it's mere existence,

For the adults, it's pure persistence.

'Life' is impossible in a definition,

But a high and low note melody by a musician.

It's a roller-coaster journey with myriad waves,

Listen to what your bosom craves.

The journey from Birth to Death,

Or is it just taking a breath ?

For some, it is chasing a dream,

In the process, life vaporizes like steam.

For others, it is all about finding love,

Someone who is a picture of a dove.

Where bonds and fights are a part of life, 

Getting a true friend is like a 6 on a dice.

Birth, education, job, nuptial, retirement and death is not all about it,

Not always a blockbuster that will be a super hit.

It's all about when we heal,

And don't romanticize like a reel.

From Parents to a wife,

We need a one always by our side.

Because life is rough,

Living alone here is very tough.

As a child, we wanted to grow apace,

Only to realize we are running in a rat-race.

Childhood was a stress-free period,

The being who introduced competition is an idiot.

Life in my terms is finding delight,

I know it's not that easy in this fight.

Happy endings are rare,

As Karma is a truth here.
