..Knowing "WE" and our "LIFE"!!

For the first time ever for my readers, Anupam Abhivyakti has a piece not originally written by me.  However, i am as delighted while publishing this magnificent work as i have ever been.  This contemplative & powerful manifestation of Life is composed by Late Amar Nath Sawhney and is surely among one of the best to be written in its category.  Read on and ponder over what Life actually means to you.

Ah me, are we

        A bare crate,

A rudderless boat

That ever float

In world's wide ocean

Without a notion

        Of its fate

Or destiny?

Or, is it right

        That in vain

We come and go,

Without ado

Like a little cloud

That rolls about

        After rain

When sky is bright?

Or, can it be

        That our fate

Is like a bubble

In water's trouble;

Arise and grow

And simply go,

        In quick haste

To eternity?

Or, is it we

        Come and go

Without an end

To mar or mend

The vast design

And leave behind

        Signs to show

Of what we be?
