Life is…
Sometimes I wonder , Is life…
A riddle?
and ponder on the purpose
of our existence
A journey?
all taking different paths
that lead to the same destination
A dream?
of fear, of success, of bliss
Until I wake up and it is over
A game?
played with team-spirit
sometimes we win, sometimes we lose
A drama?
We are actors in the unfolding scene
Playing our parts until the curtains fall
Music?
That sounds divine when played in harmony
To our inner voice
Poetry?
words that eulogise
the wonders of nature that never cease
A thought?
that takes birth as a seed in the mind
and manifests as reality
A wave?
We will be tossed about unless
we learn to ride the ebb and flow
This moment?
in time which will fleet by
Unless we are immersed in it
