Life is a Cycle

Picking up where I left off:

Life is a cycle…
and I'm learning to ride.
Though I fall
more often than I move ahead,
beyond the burn
of every bruise
lies a lesson
waiting to be learnt:
sometimes in confidence,
sometimes in humility;
sometimes in turning the other cheek,
sometimes in an eye for an eye.

Contradictions? Yes.
For isn't that the answer
to cycling well:
Finding your balance.

  1. It is a cycle.. which goes nowhere...

    We feel, we move ahead watching, understanding, dodging, ignoring... .... though... all along.. we are there... still there

    Yes, balance it is.
    Nice finish for a lovely start.

  3. Sathish - "goes nowhere"....bit negative, isn't it? The whole point of life is to evolve & grow spiritually, so I would at least hope to get 'somewhere'....& I think I am!

    Preethi - many thanks :)
