Poetry

One has to play innings of life
Ample joy be there or be full of grief.
As a river flows the life in any way,
Deep n calm or be in a spate it may.

Youth enables to enjoy all the tides,
Captivating life with joy and grief.
Advent of the evening though may chide
Shaking the soul for a moment brief.

Ups and downs faced in the life
Ought to unravel meaning of life
Enabling to take life in its stride
Like a Sthitpradnya and a being refined.

Joy n sorrow then lose their meaning
When qranquility rules over the evening.
