The ‘Gap’ called Life!

Journey of life
From cradle to grave
A glance let me have
at this ‘Gap’ between
The point End and
The point Starting!
Caught in this ‘Gap’
Thinking we ‘own’
This intangible space
And the transient time!
In this ‘ownership’ illusive
Lose, don’t we
Moments precious
Of love, peace & harmony!
Overpowered by our Ego,
With Greed, Anger & Jealousy!
Like a journey in a bus
Family& friends
Are the co-passengers
And Events momentous
Just the passing scenery!
Yet, in all arrogance,
As said the great Bhagat Singh
“We live as if, we won’t die!
We die as if, we never lived! ”
This ‘Gap’ called Life,
What then is the purpose?
To Discover my True Self
By removng all Ignorance!
Spreading love with compassion
Bringing smiles to everyone!
Leaving a fragrant mark indelible
In this ‘Gap’ called Life!

'Life is not about the breaths that we take, it is about the moments that take our breath away' Man lives a busy life. As you said, he travels in a bus, moving so fast and he forgets to enjoy the scenery outside. Man always think of what he misses, but seldom think of what he has. He always plans for tommorrow, but forget to live for today. Our life is indeed valuable. Your poem is awesome. Keep writing!
