  1. Life -The natural cycle

Life moves on swiftly as a breeze
Often, we are left with only a feel, of the days passed in peace,
Touching gently; can’t ever be seized.

Remains progressive to the core
Myriads of experiences which help us grow Every moment, a new mystery unfolds, which touches, the depths of our souls.

These moments contain events
which cherish our daily life
In these moments reside;
an assurance of eternity
These moments provide;
experiences and vitality.

As an infant, we are born
oblivious to the world around
In our parents care we learn,
to take slow steps, and then to run.

The purity within shines through the eyes
The playful ways makes the life bright
We enter our childhood which passes so fast
We realise only after the golden time has elapsed
All that remains; the sweet memories of the past.

We sit down and often ponder
Of the playful moods and days of yonder
The innocence of the childhood never strays
From the source of life,
where we inherited those traits.

Time then has its own ways,
it neither stops nor waits
Years pass and we grow in age;
passing through life’s every stage.

Yet deep within the truthful core
where the soul resides and learns to soar
The childhood and the innocence continues to dwell
Inspiring us to learn life’s every lesson well.

We seldom notice when the childhood is replaced,
with the zest of youth
Youth is like the breath of spring
Brings in the freshness
which makes the heart sing.

Like the flower which has newly bloomed,
youth fills us with vitality and many new tunes
Life then becomes a newly wedded bride
Striving for beauty and perfection in her every stride.

Gradually we evolve and grow
We take every responsibility as we mature
We see our children grow in front of our eyes
In our soul, we realise the completeness of our lives.

The experiences of life get added on
We continue to mature as we move on
The zest of youth, is then directed
to seek rationality and truth.

We reach an age of retrospection
Spend our days in self reflection
We wonder about life’s mysterious ways
Pondering the presence of some mystical grace.

We thus walk through the journey of life
Gradually learning and becoming wise.
