Just life

I wonder of the dynamics of life-

How it sways, flutters,

And then abruptly falls!

The shattered pieces then collected,

Put together a different way,

That the life looks a lot different!

Sometimes it's sewed with rugged threads,

And sometimes with golden ones…

And you walk ahead,

Sometimes with a heavy heart

And a vacant eye,

But with a ghost of a smile…

And sometimes, you just

Paint it bright, and just go on…

But pain still stays,

Hurts, and burns…

But you walk,

To sway and flutter again.

This life is an experience.

I overheard a father say

To a toddler girl:

'Sometimes life gives you

What you don't like, 

But you have to just accept it'

I would add- 'with grace'.

It's not that you can't change the course

Or the path,

Just that sometimes there are moments

When you have no choice.

And sometimes you do-

Still you cling on to the difficult way-

Because that's what will keep your priorities

Still a priority.

It's all about the priorities of your life.

What you want,

Whom you want,

Where you want.

To have it, to be it-

Sometimes hard choices are the only way!

Once you walk it hard,

It won't be as bad…

You won't be given something that you can not handle.

Just that you realize, what you really are,

And what you really want to be,

Can't avoid bruises though.

Just life!
