What sense is life ?

by Pratap Rudra   Dec 27, 2014


What sense is life ?

Distance for the driver
Substance for scientist
Pretense for politician
Intense for gymnast.

Answer for the seeker
Prayer for the priest
Feeling for the feminine
Fun for festive!

Sea for the sailor
Tavern for the Drunk
Home for the homeless
Monastery for the Monk.

There is no one sense my friend, of that am sure.
Tune-in your senses, I implore.

Life's a surprise they say, a Conspiracy unknown.
A gift -- with your name on it alone!

    This is an elegant piece of work. Although, life can be so different for us all we have similarities to if we look closely. I hope that makes sense.

    The words and beat are a breath of fresh air.

    A rather different poem,this one.The way you depict life it's just something novel,not that we don't know this but to present it in this manner is something new!!Great job though!
