Life

All life is an experiment! The more experiments you make the bette. - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Life is breathing
Inhale and Exhale
Days, nights, months
Years and years.
All of the hours
Even when it feels impossible,
without an exception breath
For the option will be the death.

Living is gaining experiences,
Whether relish them or not.
When I look back
I do see the bright spots,
And happy moments,
Good times, and
The nightmares
That came true,
I lived them through
I was left bruised,
and broken.
Time mended, and
Threw me back
Into the rink
With a wicked grin!

The sky did not fall
When my heart broke
more then once,
Even the choices
I made after the failures
Were not wise,
The earth did not stop
Spinning around the sun
When I lost special some one.

Darkness won't fill the world
When I am gone
Sun will rise and set,as he has done
Before, now and again
as if nothing matters, soon
I will be no more than
a memory of some one.

Most of all, I love the entire stanza that starts with this: "Living is gaining experiences, . . . " . . . I love the way you write in such a conversational, straightforward way, yet your meaning is deep & philosophical . . . enjoyable contrast between style & meaning. I very much agree with your overall statement. Having grown up on a farm, butchering animals to eat, having many pets over the years that eventually die, & now that I'm older, friends my age are already dying! You've given this the proper amount of attention, acknowledging the sadness, but being more focused on the reality of how soon many of these lost loves are forgotten. Once in awhile, there's a longterm devotion that you never forget, tho! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

When we were children our family was very large with grandparents, uncles and aunts.slowly one by one they have all gone, I thought at least brothers and sister will be around for emotional support, but suddenly when one of them disappears from life... the pain is beyond Words to express. I am still trying to recover from losing my second brother. Thank you for understanding my words. Um beijo

Losing someone is like losing your breath. It wrings out energy like a sponge and it takes so long to get back to normal. But the memories are always there.

Well done, Mrudula.

Losing someone is like losing our breath... sometimes it takes decades to get back to our reasonings and accepting the loss. Thank you.

This is honest writing and I believe every word of it.if there is a chance for reincarnation I would always want to come back to this lifetime.the beautiful moments make it worth it

[Mrudula Rani]

Till then, I wish your life here and now be filled with lots of love and happiness in the company of some one who appreciates and cherishes you, for you deserve all the best.

Hey what a write you have crafted & left here...brimming with desperation, hope, longing and sadness. When that time eventually comes, and it eventually will of course, you Mrudula, will not be forgotten, not at all...You will leave a beautiful legacy behind you in your daughter and in your lovely poetry, writing and words........

[Mrudula Rani]

Sentiment reciprocated.........

Wouldn't it be great if you could pop back in time and fix all the bad parts of your life?
But if there weren't any bad parts, you definitely haven't lived.
Life is still the greatest journey ever. You can't write it. Cos you don't know the ending.

[Mrudula Rani]

It's mostly the sad parts...like loosing someone too soon is the hardest to cope with , I wish their life was a little longer, that's what we cannot fix.

[Paul Bell]

Yes, that is true life.
People touch you for a time.
The good go to soon.

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you for your kind words.

[CD Campbell]

I guess that just being a good memory for someone after we are gone is all we can hope for. I appreciate you writing your inner most thoughts on life and death and realize you are more than you know. CD

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you CD for the beautiful words .

Your words carry so much joy and so much sorrow; all that is life. And now, now in these moments, you are light and pour your light through every word of you. Tão linda ... a vida é um maravilhoso milagre para respirar todos os dias. Um grande abraço.
