Mayarathika

A picture came into my mind, Filled with beauty of its kind. I knew not who its artist was, Nor knew the underlying cause. The colour, lo behold! Could warm any heart cold. The stroke so perfect, The eye cannot see defect. To which master's loving gaze, Fell this artistic maze? That time seem to slip, From its own grip. My mind let go that image, Back to reality engage. That's when I see, The beautiful picture is me.

Life is short and wishes long The will weak and temptations strong Time goes right by with turns wrong Ending the beautiful life song Down in the dark, completely lost Seeing life's winter, the wind and the frost No matter what is life's cost Letting the soul to be lost But not everything is down Not everybody does frown Ups and downs in life's gown Makes it shine in the dull town Life gives you a second chance To set your target and throw the lance To make your mind and set the stance To see if you are tuned to life's dance Stumble but don't fall If you need help, just call Face struggles and stand tall Life is the best gift of all!!!
