Life...... Poem by tanvi damle

Life......

Rating: 3.4


What is life?
Some feel it is as cruel as a surgeon's knife.
Some think life is like a sea,
filled with flowing waves of opportunity.
Some think life is like a sky,
in which love and peace fly.
Some think life is like fresh air,
filled with love and care.
Some think life is like the gushing wind,
in which all our happiness we find.
Some feel life is like a horizon which is really wide,
in which our success hides.
Some think life is the golden key,
just meant for you & me.
Some feel life is like a treasure chest,
where we gather our keepsakes and treasure our best.
What indeed life is?
Depends on how towards it we see!

Life is our daily eating, playing and working.Just as simple as that.Don't cloud our minds with further thought. Nice writes Tanvi.

Multitude of goals human assign to themselves, you're right. I think life is to be enjoyed to the fullest even we should enjoy it in bad times. Good idea and good verses.

Yes I agree life is how we see it. Drifted by fate; we can only see it and can do nothing about it. Plese read my DRIFTWOODS & PAGES on my analysis of life.

Interesting depth of perception here, Tanvi! Strong use of empathy and metaphor to convey the vast rainbow of desires within the human heart. Well done! Warm regards, John.
