Life – A Mystery

a poem by Sanchita

Life, what is it all about?
What motivates people to live?
What force brings them together?
To live on this earth at peace!

But how much peace is really there!

Life is like an unsolved puzzle
A closed book which is difficult to open
A lock without the perfect key
A mystery without the right detective

So are we all living in a puzzle, mystery?

What is the essence of life?
It is filled with so many colours,
So many flavors, so many morals
Life is inexplicable, without a perfect meaning

So are we all leading a meaningless life?

But then we have been granted just one life
So what if its filled with troubles and
It surrounds us like cluster of black clouds
We have to overcome these and live on

So will we be fighting the rest of our life?

Fighting our pains, sorrows, hurdles
Losing our energy and mental balance
Getting irritated, unable to enjoy the pleasures,
Being frustrated by all the problems!

Will this frustration ever end?

I am really confused
Why has god given us this life?
To laugh or cry or wince in pain
Is he testing our will power and us?

So will we ever pass in this test?

It is difficult but not impossible
We can put our mind, brain, and soul together
And find a solution to all our problems
With a positive thinking and an optimistic view

After all we have only put forward the saying-
“where there’s a will there’s a way”
