Life's No Poem: Better Yet!

People often wish for things to turn out to be as they had planned. Everyone has planned out their lives so meticulously that they have no charm for the uninvited changes. Sometimes life's better if you just wait and watch what it unfolds for you...


I wanted it to rhyme
my life like a poem
symmetrical, organized and flowing
but I'm no poet and life's no poem

Had life's incidents
been a choice of words
I'd have shifted; found handful of synonyms
to fit the rhythm I had desired

Words that I could choose
and push into other lines
to make it dance
to the tune I had in mind.
But life's melody
is in sync with time
a tune so contrary,
to what may fancy mine

Giving it an end
that would suit my mood
happy or sad,
rough or smooth.
But flowing like river
life only bends
at turning points; don't force
let it on its own - blend
