Celebrating
Birth and death,
Praying
For life,
Condoling a demise.
Celebrations and festivities
Of life’s irony
Staring me hard in my face,
Stone-faced, ruthless.
Where do I draw the line?
Between joy and sorrow?
Between faith and hopelessness?
What I do today has no relevance tomorrow.
Life or death -just two sides of the same coin.
Celebration and festivity – all in the mind…

HI,
Thanks for this excellent poem capturing the essence of Life.
Life is full of surprises and shocks. What do to? I have also faced lots of tragedies in life. Only Time is the best healer.

Hello Hari,
I know. Life can really teach us some lessons and sometimes we don't learn at all and have to do some un learning too!
But as you said: time is the best healer...
