Book of life

Imprints on space and time,
Play ground for the fate's games.
Images in sound and colors,
A picture book of memories.
Autobiographies with hardcovers!

Some incomplete,
For time was too short.
Robbed of promises,
Drowned us in sorrows.

Some smudged in tears,
The ones lost, I fear
Can't find in future.
Dusty and faded a few,
I barely recognize the hues
For ravaged by distance
And the forever silence!

To my book of life,
I believe, I have more to add.
Patience and strength I need.
Love and the loved , aid
to gather, and guard my experiences
With care and grace.

I believe, I have more to add.
Patience and strength I need.

:) something i feel too...in this journey we all need a bit more of these...
good one

[Mrudula Rani]

I agree with you, for patience is a virtue, and at times eager heart pays no heed to the wise mind. Thank you for the wonderful addition!

[Ardra]

hahah i think i have a eager wild heart... :P and mind not sure if they both ever agreed on anything...

[Mrudula Rani]

A creative mind always feels that way!

[BlackPrince]

This is a nice and wonderful perspective.

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you very much.

[Sami Khalil]

Very well put and full of truth. We are the actors in the book of life indeed and we must play either a major role or a moinor one. We need all those tools to make the story worthwhile as you state. Excellent.

'Life is but a book, full of lessons to learn, till you're alive!'....That's the thought which came in my mind while I was reading this poem, Mrudula😊

What makes us feel so special today, becomes a memory for the tommorrows to come, and what hurts us bad today, becomes a memorable lesson for the days to come, that's how life is😊 and we are but the characters who play the roles we've got, till the end we are destined to.
Life at the end become our 'Autography with Hardcovers'....That's the story which form the 'Book of life'.
Interestingly, our actions decide what kind of an autobiography it is gonna be, and most of the people, try to make it a good one :)

Thankyou for writing and sharing this piece, Mrudula 😊It was a wonderful one!

[Mrudula Rani]

I suppose the book of life never stops.
Well not at least till the end.
If we actually had the sense to write everything down. What a book that would be.

[Mrudula Rani]

Book of life is what fate scribed and we endure! What you write down is diary!

[Paul Bell]

Not a diary as such. We're in the computer age, where everyday of your life can be documated. Pictures, the lot.
