A Poem of Life

Present hangs in balance and makes
You peep into the worrisome future
With experience bitter or better
from the past but...
There is hope and despair that
Go hand in hand to believe
What life is about.


One step you come across happiness
And it follows a sea of sorrow.
Then there comes an uneasy calm
To unfold the surprises of tomorrow.

All alone you pass through thick and thin
Of life, embrace its all phases and colours
Sometimes you crib and other times you grin
Alike autumn, spring and summers…

The two hands walk together
One moving ahead of another
Yet can’t embrace each other
And seek love from some other

Just to undo what can’t be
Every moment you spend in repent
And just to be what you wanted to be
You try hard but could not relent

A grey in mind sometimes gives off
Weariness just to fulfil a suppressed desire
Just as a flame under a lamp can’t be put off

Despite it’s unending struggle or ire!
