A Poetry Called Life

Knocking at the doors of every budding person is a life

A life that promises to be full of virtues and a diverse array of gains

Then we slowly learn that it needs to be harnessed with lots of preparation and strife

That we need to tread it with caution and take into stride a lot of pains



He then takes those pains as a part of challenge, and tries to overcome those

For a certain portion of life, he battles it gamely, as did David over Goliath

At this, his peers and those around him give him praises quite verbose

Yes, he even achieves victory over half his hurdles, as did David over Goliath



Now, that time has gone past as fast as a hurricane sweeping the mortals’ toes

He suddenly finds grappling with a giant greater much greater than Goliath

At this, he wants someone to share his travails and to share his stocks of woes

That someone, someone should understand him every moment and take a dip in his bath



But, just like a magnetic attraction for someone that is felt by him,

There is an equally opposite force trying to keep him away from that elusive one

He suddenly realizes that life needs to be lived each and every moment by him

And not just ignore those moments that strike him with fangs of pains not bygone



The next portion of life, though not significant in practicality, but a scorching one,

Is spent in finding for that elusive partner

His each and every nerve, feeling, sentiment, tendon, muscle, and bone,

Is spent in finding for that elusive partner who will like to go with him for a saunter



I have seen my eyes see smoke burning from them

I have seen my breath tremble with fear at times to search for that elusive one

I wonder how much power has the Almighty conferred on me to fight such mayhem

It makes me wonder no it leaves me consumed and with a stun



And then suddenly she is there in front of you, defying all logic and whatevers

Ready to look into your soul and search and rummage through all the chunks of distress

All those chunks of negative distress that had been blocking inside his chest

And all those chunks of positive distress that he had wanted to share with her



In a nutshell, he now got his remaining huge portion of life to spend with her

In a mellifluous manner and in a cozy comfortable fashion with her

Someone was absent yesterday, today her presence brought tears of joy in him

Life was knocking on the doors, and he certainly got it, subsuming all emotions in him.
