Essence of Life

Reprieve was when my eyes beheld the clear moonlight
And my dreams took a fearless and relentless flight
To the world free of shackles of boredom and loneliness
Where time was not a raging bull, but somehow worthless
And I wished I were a bird, who could fly high in the sky
Moreover, could breathe free as the time passed by
But grass is always greener on the other side
Where life was no less than a roller-coaster ride
A priceless lesson was what I had learnt when
I switched sides hoping for a blissful life then
Despite the zillion falls, everytime I picked myself up
Looked back, smiled and walked down the road so rough
Will no more hope to be where I don’t belong
For it might seduce me away in the world of wrong
Life will always play its tricks not to defeat your existence
But to make you strong and tenacious when you face countless hindrances
Reprieve will now be when I master the art of living
With peace and beatitude with every fellow being

Super. This poem is really positive. It covers life experience and innocence lost through life's-ups-and-downs beautifully, if that is a part of the meaning.

I like the poem. I understand the thoughts and the logic of the poem. We begin free of great burden. Getting older steal from hope and dreams.

The above lines are true. When we know what we need and where we are going. We are okay. Thank you for the amazing poetry.
