The Cycle Of Life Poem by Valsa George
The Cycle Of Life
Life, a miracle too deep to fathom
And each man adds to the cosmic beat
Human life completes its cyclic round
Passing through stages four
Beginning with childhood
Skipping through youth and middle age
And ending in crippling old age,
Precisely as the seasons of the year!
Each stage has its thrills and fills
Marked by distinct traits
If childhood is an age of play
Youth, a transition from play to work
Middle age- a time when passions are tempered
And old age, a gradual transfer from sweat to rest!
Thus life sprouts, blooms, fades and ebbs away
As plants through the seasons four!
Each stage is a link in the chain of life
And birth and death, just doorways in and out
Life after completing its earthly round,
Through vexing trials and waning joys,
Shall enter a world beyond the reach of thought
Can we still say life is an empty dream?
Sure, we wake to sleep and sleep to wake
And the cycle goes on and on relentless!
Now that we are deep in December Sitting back and trying to remember All the cycles that made us mellow Knowing that there will be fewer to follow Thanks Valsa
I really love this little poem (comment) of yours! You are an instant poet Loke!
The cycle of life and death itself is divided into stages where one experiences changes in body and attitude. Clever use of metaphors to drive your point. Beautiful! !
This is very deep to fathom life and we try sometimes to fathom. Human life completes in cycle and this is very miraculous in nature. In chain of life we find a link. Cycle of life goes on through birth and death. This poem is deeply philosophical and magical. Thank you very much for sharing this...10
In Hindu mythology there are four Aashrams, Bal Aashram, Yuva Aashram, Grahsth Aashram and the fourth (I forgot its name) for the old persons. I agree with you life is at all not a dream, it's a reality but a mystery, too.
Here we call the fourth stage' Vanaprastha! Thank you for the thoughtful comment!
Life and its philosophical contexts are the important themes of world poets throughout and I find here a good poem and enjoyed.
It is a fine journey through Life's Cycles and I must say I share your philosophical viewpoint. It's as good a poem as I have read on this subject. Tom Billsborough
Each stage has its thrills and fills... That is great. It makes life interesting at every stage. Beautifully penned. I enjoyed reading it.
