Life

Life – a Puzzle! More – a Riddle! ! A hard nut to crack! An Ocean Deep with swirls and twists! ! Has anyone seen it in length and breadth? Has it ever taken the course we designed? Like the travellers within a Phantom ship, We sail past to far unknown lands. Through rugged waves, we drift along, Either to perish or to be cast ashore. So elusive, Life remains, Like the mirage over the stretch of sands. Often it seems so easily within reach But far, it recedes out of grip. Like a juggler, performing tricks, It holds people to watch and wonder. Life remains a complex sum, Far beyond our power to solve. Why rake your brain to fathom out? Why knit your brow and look beyond? Safe it is- And wiser still- To stay awake, And take things in their stride.
