Mystery of Life

People said, ‘Life is a mYSTERY to be solved!'

I took it as a challenge & tried to solve it!

I took it as a puzzle & tried to crack it.

On my way, I tried to find all the clues,

That may help me to solve this mystery!

I walked through a crowd,

To feel the deafening silence within myself!

I walked through the shore,

To feel the waves rise and fall!

I walked on a riverbank,

To feel the shimmering river!

I trudged past a jungle,

To feel the bliss of nature!

I flew through the sky,

To feel the feeling of flying.

I wandered alone in darkness,

To feel the sound of silence!

I went down the sea,

To feel the life of water.

I strolled through a Desert,

To feel what is it to be sand!

I climbed up a mountain,

To feel the top of the world.

I left no stone unturned,

I left no work undone.

Just to solve the puzzle called LIFE!

I tried to find signs everywhere,

I tied to decode codes everywhere

Just to solve an enigma called LIVING!

Then I realized, I was wrong.

Many people took LIFE as a puzzle,

And tried to solve it; everybody failing!

I have known that,

Life is a mystery...

It is not to be solved,

It has to be lived!

It has to be enjoyed,

It has to be cherished and relished.

And that day, I got answers to all my questions,

Answers to my joys, sorrows, pains and happiness!

Answers to all the puzzles, trials and tribulations.

And I solved the mystery of LIFE,

By living It, Enjoying It, Cherishing It and relishing it!!
