Bon Voyage! Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Bon Voyage!

Rating: 4.4


Life has many contrasts,
Many twists and turns
Many unanswered questions,
Many unresolved mysteries.

Yet life goes on,
Sometimes fast, sometimes wearily,
Leaving behind visible or invisible trails
That we can never, ever tread again!

Very nicely written, Life is like that only with full contrasts, but it does not stop also moves on to future. So Bon voyage and Carpediem - that I am to say

Life is difficult at times, betraying our trust, reneging on promises, yet we cling to life like a child to it's mother. Knowing we can never recapture what we had even moments before, just moving forward one step at a time.

This is life. The philosophy of life. Yet life goes on, ... this is the main words or the main tune of life. For this, perhaps it was said Charoibeti, meaning go ahead... and Vivekananda used to inspired our nation with the words of Upanishad, Utthistito jagroto prapto bannibodhoto.... rise..woke up..and fulfill your your goal. Excellent poem. I like it.
