Puzzle Poem by Bharati Nayak

Puzzle

Rating: 4.9


This is the night
When I left you hurried
The door slammed
Leaving you puzzled
Life's questions
So many, remain unanswered
As it flows
Throws questions
Like the' YAKSHA' of' Mahabharat'
We always ask ourselves
Some we find answer
Others remain mysteries
And we die of thirst.

Yudhistira could answer all the many questions of the Yaksha, but has a doubt regarding its real nature.. Then, the Yaksha reveals himself to be Yama-Dharma, the god of death, Yudhistira's father... :) - Indeed, your poem is a source of pleasure, Bharati.. Thanks for sharing Cheers

Part - 2 the questions and died on thirst. Yudhistira could answer the mysterious questions and came out from puzzle and save the lives of his brothers.

Part - 1 Like the' YAKSHA' of' Mahabharat' We always ask ourselves Some we find answer Others remain mysteries And we die of thirst......nice example in favor of puzzle in life. Except Yudhistira all his four brothers didn't answer
