[bodytext] => My life – a speculation Amid trials and tribulations my life flows, Akin to a candle in the hurricane it glows, Caught in violent eddies flutters its flame, Start and a finish, how wondrous it came! A rudderless canoe at the clemency of waves, Or a tireless eagle set on conflicts that braves, Dithering shall stay my biography in advance, Lure and hang-up and then my endless dance! The reality in earnest or a speculation ’twas, A growth from want to want, a tumult ’twas, Hard learning, crossroads and bridges along, Which to burn? Which way I must go along? My whole life’s a stir and my emotions strong, My fantasy or adoration but whereto I belong? My inanity or pleasure I knew nought my goal, Lost in the flurry of throng I famished my soul. What? A power or a mixture of bliss and sorrow, Dangled ’twixt the two eternities I didn’t follow, The complexities of maze which were too secure, Too tame, too prosaic, intriguing but verily sure! A continuous poem, a blossom or an oasis in life, How bare and unfruitful, dry and weary of strife! The unexamined lingered far-off and so the near, Animosity blossomed as unveiled a face so dear! An opportunity or a business in continuous flow, Marvelous and grand yet ’twas shallow and low, Wearing down my nerves, what a baffling thing! Kisses from death ah I watched the fall in spring. My soul was slashed and the depths lay exposed, Unshared passions and the enigmas undisclosed, All a dark forest and in the battle I was engaged, Cruelly bruised and scathed and never assuaged. I had voyaged in the world of values or my soul, Now existing then not existing, whither my roll? Who divides? Who unites? A triumph or defeat! A thunderous reply! Just speculation and deceit!
