QUEST OF LIFE

this is about how one neglects his life ,pondering about this precious gift of nature unnecessarily

life is a cozy bed

then why am I always sad?

have I gone mad

or simply just trapped.

I don't know where to head 

when it has no trough or crest.

sometimes I do this, sometimes I do that

am I a cat or a rat?

to quest it out, I have sat

is it  a misconcept or a fact?

one day I met two princeton

one was sodium and other was krypton

the former showed me the bright new dawn

unfortunately I couldn't grasp it on

later I realised the tone

and my life rocked on..!! 

 

I know you too are in a trauma 

wondering about the life drama

the lesson is not to ponder

but to enjoy the wonder

because life is a cozy bed

& you always have to step ahead. 

Author's Note

Hey guys! sorry for ur inconvenience in reading the poem , so to rectify my mistake here is the explanation to the poem.
1. Life is such a warm and comfortable bed then why i am not happy ?.Has something gone wrong with me or i have been trapped in this puzzling life. I don't know what to do next when this life neither has a start (trough) nor an end(crest).
2.In this life race I am confused about my job,positions etc and then i compare myself with a cat or a rat that is question myself whether i am dominating and doing what i wish to do or just being carried away by the outside world. So, finally i have sat to analyse the situation and to find out if it happens to me only.
3.The day,when i had a dialogue with the almighty Lord brought a turning point in me He introduced me to the two different souls of mine that is sodium(reactive) and krypton(non reactive). The reactive soul taught me (krypton) the art to live, but being narrow minded I couldn't get the point but later when i gave it a deep thought i came across the real scenario of life.
As you already know , the motto of last stanza is to introduce the readers with the correct way of leading a life.

I will be honest with you. The idea behind this piece is deep but I found that as I read along it started becoming tedious ergo my advice would be to work on it some more and cut out some unnecessary wording.
All in all i liked it. Keep the fire burning

[piggy]

Dry and boring. You need to get out more. Lol

[IceDragonOfPluto]

Nice way of speaking on inner turmoil. Keep them coming on.

Enjoyed the metaphors used...life is full of suprises and variety, seems to me there is no one right way to live our lives.

I like the rhymes and rhythm here, it's simple but effective. The question which opens the poem is simple, direct, and goes directly to the root of the angst which most of us have, to some extent or another - the truth is that we will never be without sadness, no matter how "happy" we might be, sadness is one of the defining factors of life, and many of us will, in some way or another, question this in our lives. Sweet, concise, thoughtful write.

A cat or a rat. Are you the pursuer or the pursued? I'm not a big fan of author's notes explaining the poem, the poem should do that. Ampersands are popular lately, and is an excellent way to start a line and for the flow of the poem. I'm not sure if you're thinking trauma and drama rhyme, ponder and wonder. My thought is they don't, not an imperfect rhyme

very nicely done! and thanks for the review of my stuff. and you're right, at some point you have to step ahead, no matter where you're at during the moment.

I really liked the metaphors you used in this poem. (Rat/Cat...Sodium/Krypton) I don't believe I would have ever thought of that. Very creative. There is a deep meaning in this poem that you have depicted very well. Really excellent job on this write. :)
