Reconciling the life so frail
Neither a friend
Nor a foe
What we are?
We do not know!
Its such a fun to be nescient
Exploring all that comes our way
Getting to know
That we never knew
Finding all inside us
That was never seen;
Playing the game with no rules
Working hard,making no fools
Nurturing our desires to a point
Whetting our success appetite
Deleting all that is futile
Obscuring all the cacophony
Obliterating too familiar monotony
What we are?
We do not know!
Lying low
We are sailing through
In quest of shore
That is mine and belongs to you
What has been superficial all this life
Will gain some meaning,a big respite
A lot to be done and it will be done
Not like a burden,but it will be fun
There is that point on that top
Which can’t be reached by a single hop
Hand in hand though we are far
Learning and gaining by all our spars
Atoning all our worldly sins
By drinking that “karmic’ gin.
Each of us will perpetually climb
And lend our hand when other’s low
Anointing each other at the top
As hitherto ‘unseen friends’!
Together on this boat we sail
Reconciling the life so frail.
