Life Poem by Ella Goodman

It's strange but true,
Life you move on all through
Alone at your own pace.
Not caring who falls behind
Or move ahead in times race.

We fragile beings love, cry, hold on to people,
And then in a flash, Life you snatch away,
The ones we love the most,
Around whom our world revolves.
For whom we endure all pain
In whom we see the light of dawn.

Life why do you hurl in so rough?
Snap away all glow?
Engulfing our world in mist of dark shadow?
Putting away the lamp without a previous call,
Take away the reason we so long smiled along?
Is it too much to feel for our dear ones,
Laugh, be happy, feel strong in their arms?
Is too much to ask for miles to walk along,
In thunder, in shower, sunshine or frosty morn?

Life Your mystery is grand,
You cast your golden wand to weave the fabric
Of emotions strong.
You instill in us feelings and warmth,
Cravings and longings, sense of belonging
And then one fine morning
You snatch away it all.
To leave us in arms of emptiness,
Sapping away the lively installs.
And make us dangle in air sucked out environ,
Panting for breath.

Why is it so hard to walk all alone?
Accept the reality that You always have shown?
Why do we grow fond of our dear ones?
Why do they have to one day travel to yonder walls?
Where trade can't we when walk on to this blown soils.

Relations are so strange
With some You make us bond great,
Our reason for being is defined in their wake
Their every breath makes our life flow on with sheen
And then in an flick, Life You snatch them away in your beak.
Tossing our world to mayhem all chaotic
Yet we are expected to walk erect and tall.
For it is the eternal truth,
That alone we have walked in
And alone we shall on earmarked day exit.

Yes, that is life....filled with hope, love,
Sorrow, loss and pain, A conundrum of
Feelings that make us laugh and shed tears of loss.
Life.... it is a complex equation thus.

A part we are all, of the Divine play,
Come here each soul to run in this relay.
So laugh at your gain, cry when you need,
When dear ones bid you adieu,
Hold them in your memories.
