AN ODE ON LIFE'S JOURNEY - Radhakrishnan Krishnan

AN ODE ON LIFE'S JOURNEY



Many of us have come and gone,
Many of us are alive and hanging on,
All of us are mysteries,
Adding to unsolved episodes in history,

Our life is a blessing yet a curse too,
Life has full of struggles yet it is pleasant, that's true,
It is a journey of various paths and pursuits,
Many hop in and many hop out as the journey to them suits.

Some join our life's journey together,
Some leave midway but leave memories to treasure,
Some noble souls may change our direction to better one,
Some may force us to abort the journey and quit the run.

Some of us are crawlers and some are great learners,
Some are explorers and some are mere dreamers,
Each of us have a poetic story of our life and love to tell,
Together they make an ode when all the loving hearts gel.

Without love as a lighthouse can we complete our voyage?
It is with love we stay clear of life's mirage,
Without love this life is nothing but an exercise of futility,
Love is the most essential preservative of humanity.

Ode to humanity is complete with only blissful love,
Let us spread the seeds of love to lift our hearts to God above,
Let us plant these seeds to reap the harvest of blessings,
Let the love flow unconditionally without any strings.
