Life

Could we, the people, ever tell where life will take?
It’s hard to know and there’s no way to guess.
Life will then toss and turn us in its ways,
And we succumb and wait for better chance.
Should love ever elude us here we hope for best,
It may be somewhere else, no harm for us to wait.
We have all chances given, for the path
Of life is crooked, it’s not straight, may run astray.
We’ll need some time to rise from where we fell,
And then we’ll launch on our path again in haste.
In search of love, once stumble, twice, or many times we may,
Then straighten up and walk looking for better place.
This lifelong story never ends, it’s meant for years to pass.
With courage, left enough to last us on this path, consult
The skies, the stars, the sun, the moon to show us way,
Just walk, and walk and climb, and walk again.
We’re doing this since time we’ve ever started game.
We’ll make it or will not, we wait, we never ask,
The crooked path of life we walk on tells as much.

Hi Marikia

To some degree we are all hostage to fate, I doubt if any of us can ever straighten out life's tangled chicanes.

A very philosophical write.

Best wishes

Marikia, a lovely piece of writing...I keep thinking of Robert Frost's famous poem "A Road Not Taken" I don't know why. Maybe it's the whole concept of life's choices and fate. thumbs up

Could we, the people, ever tell where life will take?

A beautiful question


Life will take....Where....we the people could ever tell

I wonder if the answer is in the question.

marikia....WHAT IF

All life experiences have equal value

Or

The value of each experience is measured by the price we pay
marikia
Experiences differ as differ the paths we take or are made to take, if there is fate to interfere and decide in our stead, and the price, by which the value of our experience is measured, and which we are to pay, is unique - we pay our own price for each experience, which may differ.

You are such a deep thinker dear lady,
I really enjoyed reading this - it has
a unique feel and flow to it
and so full of feelings.

I agree with all that has been said...even read through twice to make sure I hadn't missed something...it's a wonder we never lose faith and give up hope...niahangel teddybear
