Life's Rubik's Cube

Life has many twists and turns, a never ending puzzle.

 

Life’s Rubik’s Cube

By: Julia Lautizi

Red,

Orange,

Yellow,

Twisting and turning the colors of life,

Never knowing where it’s going to end up,

Does it help solve the puzzle,

Or make it worse,

Messing things up so bad you don’t know what’s right or wrong.

 

Green,

Blue,

White,

Switching and swapping the colors of life,

Never knowing whether it’s telling you something,

Does it help solve the puzzle,

Or make it worse,

Messing things up so bad you don’t know what path to take.

 

Red,

Orange,

Yellow,

Green,

Blue,

White,

The colors of life,

Just like a Rubik’s cube,

Twisting,

Turning,

Switching,

And swapping,

All the things in life around,

Helping with the puzzle of life,

Messing with right and wrong,

Until finally,

You make one turn,

And you’ve finished the puzzle,

Everything falls into place,

You’re guided down the right path,

Everything making sense,

Until something happens,

And there’s still one square that doesn’t fit.

 

The puzzle of life is never solved,

Always twisting,

Turning,

Switching,

And swapping,

Because that’s life’s Rubik’s cube,

Life’s never ending puzzle.

Excellent poem. I love it. Best poem I have read on here in my opinion but I do like phiosophy and stuff like this. You couldnt have written it any better.

It is true that lIke if like a puzzle. You chose a Rubik's cube in this case... but it is still true. What fun would it be if you had the answers handed to you all the time? Live, laugh, learn.... it keeps the heart, the brain and the soul alive... :) I like the thought behind the piece. ;p
