Life, As We Know It

Life is probably like a book,

Made up of chapters

Each chapter that comes by,

Is meant to be learnt,

Meant to be understood

Some chapters also need re-reading,

While some chapters stay unchanged forever

Some words from the chapters

Leave a scar on us,

While some words heal us

Every chapter need to be relived

Because one can’t simply draw it out forever

OR

Life is probably just a metaphor

I like the musing here. Yes, it is longer than some of the others, but it is more playful than the previous one - probably.

Life might be a metaphor as well as it might be a dream, for all we know about its essence is close to nothing. Beautiful poem. :)

Well said, I think what is important is that in every instance where possible we should be the author of the book. Regards Ray

I do not have idea whether life is metaphor or not, but the poets, writers, philosophers and learned men tried to define the meaning of life by using various kinds of metaphors. one of them is that metaphor you have used in this poem. You beautifully have portrayed the life through the metaphor of book, that is so fascinating and interesting. You have done a good job with writings. Great. Thanks for sharing. :-)

Is it a lesson or merely a riddle, life is sure complex in all its simplicity...a double edged sword...:)

Thank you!!

I like how you kind of said the same thing in two different ways--

Part 1: "Life is probably *insert metaphor*"
OR
Part 2: "Life is probably just a metaphor"

Very thought provoking. Enjoyed the read!
