The Journey Of Life...

just a simple attempt to vividly look towards life...

Have you trailed through, the

storms of life..?
If no, then i will  take you there,
in the meanwhile..!

It is a journey, of infinite miles,
but  starts with a single step,
that will take you to that
world ahead..!

so, come out of your room
or house,
and get in a garden,
near your house....

Look at the beauty, over there,
observe everything deeply there......

now, if you see a butterfly,
and get that lovely smile on your face,
I'll  simply smile and tell you that,
this is how, we meet friends in our life;
who make our lives, full of surprise..!!

Now step towards a place, with
high mountains, and look at them,
this is the height, at which our aims lie,
but remember,
you always have, one way,
or the other, to reach there,
it may be  risky, and harsh,
but one day, it will lead
you to the top...!

Now, come to a place,
where needy live;
and intensely see a poor child,
I bet, you'll clearly understand,
what is  being deprived;
see their faces, and health,
and you'll know,
what is hell..!!
and this is why, we really need to help........

Now, step back to that garden,
and see if there's a rose plant;
forget every thing for a while,
and sit there, with a keen understanding,
as, here, I'll tell you something, reallly interesting,..!

first look at the stem,
long and green,
this resembles the passage of life, for
we human beings....!!
then look at the thorns,
these are  like those obstacles,
we face in life..!!
now, finally look at the flower so bright,
which is the grand result of, HOPE, STRUGGGLE, and strive...
these are the things, that literally make the flower  .....bright...!!!

And this is the process,
which we call as  LIFE.....!!
which is a journey,
of endless miles,
but really filled with delight,
which i hope,
you really enjoyed...!!!

"The Journey Of Life"
Saumya,
The message which was real for me in reading this poem was 'stop and smell the roses.' The paddling speed at which our thoughts twirl is not conductive to pondering and finding appreciation in the day to day blessings that are all around us. The above words were an encouragement to do so, to be still and soak up good things.
Blessings,
Kathy

Wonderfully written! Esspecially how you compared life to a rose ^^

[dw817]

Certainly you are an Emissary of the Topiary. :)
And that's fine. Rose before I met her, she went by the alias of Gardener, and she works in her garden constantly raising beautiful vegetables and delicious flowers. Wait. Strike that. Reverse it. :)

Lovely, I enjoyed every moment of your wonderful walk.

As Minichinz says, you have guided the reader to explor intricacies, faikling, needs and compassion.
But my favorite is the way you compared the rose to the journey of life...the long stem the path we follow, the thorns the obstacles we must overcome to reach the glorious bloom at the end.
Lovely imagery there. Very nice piece.

[Leslie Philibert]

I like this; it transports emotions that we often overlook; excellent.

[Mary Christabel George]

Conveyed a good message from meeting friends, to helping poor to handling obstacles.
Good attempt.
Keep writing!!!

This is a beautifully written poem with a lovely message. I love the imagery you use and love the way in which you describe life, it is beautiful. Nice messages through-out. It is true, that out of struggles and pain you grow and develop. I have not become the flower yet, I'm still at the thorns but I know eventually things will get better. You wrote about all that so simply yet beautifully.
