☆ Encounter with the Life…  ☆

☆

Yesterday only I saw a

glimpse of the dear life,

Humming along with me

on a desolate country road..!

*

Smiling-winking, she kept

playing hide and seek…

Caressed me, consoled me

Tried to put me at ease..!

*

I asked, why are we both

angry with each other?

I was explaining to her

and she to me, spiritedly…

*

Why d’you give me pains galore,

Replied she, “I’m life, you fool!

I was preparing and teaching you

the ways to negotiate with your life..!”
