QUEST OF LIFE

QUEST OF LIFE

A Poem by Nishant Gupta
"

this is about how one neglects his life ,pondering about this precious gift of nature unnecessarily

"
life is a cozy bed
then why am I always sad?
have I gone mad
or simply just trapped.
I don't know where to head 
when it has no trough or crest.


sometimes I do this, sometimes I do that
am I a cat or a rat?
to quest it out, I have sat
is it  a misconcept or a fact?

one day I met two princeton
one was sodium and other was krypton
the former showed me the bright new dawn
unfortunately I couldn't grasp it on
later I realised the tone
and my life rocked on..!! 
 
I know you too are in a trauma 
wondering about the life drama
the lesson is not to ponder
but to enjoy the wonder
because life is a cozy bed
& you always have to step ahead.

Hey guys! sorry for ur inconvenience in reading the poem , so to rectify my mistake here is the explanation to the poem.
1. Life is such a warm and comfortable bed then why i am not happy ?.Has something gone wrong with me or i have been trapped in this puzzling life. I don't know what to do next when this life neither has a start (trough) nor an end(crest).
2.In this life race I am confused about my job,positions etc and then i compare myself with a cat or a rat that is question myself whether i am dominating and doing what i wish to do or just being carried away by the outside world. So, finally i have sat to analyse the situation and to find out if it happens to me only.
3.The day,when i had a dialogue with the almighty Lord brought a turning point in me He introduced me to the two different souls of mine that is sodium(reactive) and krypton(non reactive). The reactive soul taught me (krypton) the art to live, but being narrow minded I couldn't get the point but later when i gave it a deep thought i came across the real scenario of life.
As you already know , the motto of last stanza is to introduce the readers with the correct way of leading a life.

I will be honest with you. The idea behind this piece is deep but I found that as I read along it started becoming tedious ergo my advice would be to work on it some more and cut out some unnecessary wording.
All in all i liked it. Keep the fire burning

Hey, don't know what to make of this quite honestly. Whilst the title and underlying message imply a good meaning the method is a decent attempt but flawed and dare I say...childish? The grammar,punctuation, etc is indeed flawed but generally I don't take those into consideration as my own work is flawed in such ways, however, text typing in my eyes is a complete break of tone and tempo...unless it's intended as part of the poem that is. Not a bad attempt for your first one dude, keep challenging yourself but maybe try varying the stanza's too?

Also, if you liked Falling or Saving Me try checking out A Letter To The Downtrodden on my page, not exactly light hearted reading but...

Stepping forward in life is a great topic and one you have done very well with. I like this a lot. The insight is true and yet still complicated. Thanks for a really good read.

The expression is passionate but in places could be a little clearer. Nonetheless, an interesting message and some sharp observations make this an enjoyable read.
