Transit

 

We come and depart

Like the tides in the ocean

The way clouds appear and disappear

Experience sorrows and happiness

Resembling light and darkness!

 

We try to love

Only to feel half-heartedness!

We try to speak our mind

Words make it meaningless!

We collect things of lust

Only to find them useless!

We find our better half

Only to know half way!

We learn to know it all

Only to feel frustrated!

We cheer having it all

Only to find emptiness!

We feel proud of family and friends

At the end embrace loneliness!

But after all bitterness

We most cherish being on this planet!
