The Journey Of Life...

just a simple attempt to vividly look towards life...

Have you trailed through, the

storms of life..?
If no, then i will  take you there,
in the meanwhile..!

It is a journey, of infinite miles,
but  starts with a single step,
that will take you to that
world ahead..!

so, come out of your room
or house,
and get in a garden,
near your house....

Look at the beauty, over there,
observe everything deeply there......

now, if you see a butterfly,
and get that lovely smile on your face,
I'll  simply smile and tell you that,
this is how, we meet friends in our life;
who make our lives, full of surprise..!!

Now step towards a place, with
high mountains, and look at them,
this is the height, at which our aims lie,
but remember,
you always have, one way,
or the other, to reach there,
it may be  risky, and harsh,
but one day, it will lead
you to the top...!

Now, come to a place,
where needy live;
and intensely see a poor child,
I bet, you'll clearly understand,
what is  being deprived;
see their faces, and health,
and you'll know,
what is hell..!!
and this is why, we really need to help........

Now, step back to that garden,
and see if there's a rose plant;
forget every thing for a while,
and sit there, with a keen understanding,
as, here, I'll tell you something, reallly interesting,..!

first look at the stem,
long and green,
this resembles the passage of life, for
we human beings....!!
then look at the thorns,
these are  like those obstacles,
we face in life..!!
now, finally look at the flower so bright,
which is the grand result of, HOPE, STRUGGGLE, and strive...
these are the things, that literally make the flower  .....bright...!!!

And this is the process,
which we call as  LIFE.....!!
which is a journey,
of endless miles,
but really filled with delight,
which i hope,
you really enjoyed...!!!

"The Journey Of Life"
Saumya,
The message which was real for me in reading this poem was 'stop and smell the roses.' The paddling speed at which our thoughts twirl is not conductive to pondering and finding appreciation in the day to day blessings that are all around us. The above words were an encouragement to do so, to be still and soak up good things.
Blessings,
Kathy

Thanks a lot, dear Kathy! I'm indeed very glad that you liked the message of this poem :)
(((Hugs)))

Fondly,
Saumya.

A journey into observation and its lesson. Wonderfully put, rather like a thin book yet full of words worth reading if one only bothers to sit a while. What you see and feel is a lesson to those who look or glance but don't see. The penultimate stanza near says it all .. ' first look at the stem, long and green, this resembles the passage of life, for we human beings....!!then look at the thorns, these are like those obstacles, we face in life..!! '

Strong work, insightful verse.
"A journey of endless miles"
Not, perhaps in the physical steps we take... but in the process of understanding the world, ourselves, and others. A beautiful poem, Saumya.

we often live our lives like those people who have the fear of going outside...if only we could shake that fear, step out of ourselves and see the world around us...we would understand there is so much we could do to love better...to appreciate nature more...to just experience what we are missing...and be ourselves with others...trust and care.

insightful write.

Beautiful poem inspired by a rosebush! Turning a rosebush into a mantra leads to enlightenment. Here's an inspired gift poem for you which you may do with as you like:

Roses

Through sun rises and sunsets,
roses live without regrets
as our pretty little pets.

beautiful. I love how you compared the rose, the butterfly, and the garden to needy children and hell. Brilliant. It was really beautiful, as your work always is, and it reflects the truth about human kind. Everyone who has read this poem should and will feel thankful after reading it, including me. Great job!

Honestly it's to long. WC poets are a pack of ADD cases. Short works LOTS better for views and reviews.

what did you mean, i didn't understand...!!
