A mild smile is but a screen
vague and opaque
we find it hard to see through it
the mist of grief
though it persists in purer feel
and harder sense;
Life, in fact is a finer blend
of gloom and glee;
so this harmony in facts of life,
aspects of life
makes it quite liveable and lovable...
A mild smile hiding the mist of grief. Very strong words in such a gentle insightful poem.
Joy and woe are woven fine.If we can keep pace with this rhythm, happiness will be at our door.Loved it.
what can be said as a comment on this lovely poem, ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? , i believe and strongly believe that poems like RHYTHM OF LIFE should be just read with a feather touch given by the readers' eyes, , ears, , and heart, , i am afraid many at times this one-liner comments tamper and tarnish the marvel and beauty of the' rhythm of life '.enjoyed this poem thoroughly, , shahzia is not only a wonderful literary critic but also a wonderful literary artist :) thanx
Compact and impregnated with the elements called in life
All true, you said in the poem. Aapi, considering our real cause of breathing, the joys and worries become different, and also what we call it Tension.
Life, in fact is a finer blend of gloom and glee Nice wording. An excellent poem for encouragement and positive think. Tfs
OK, life is 2 sided: up-down, happy-sad, in-out, until you find out who you are, after that just giving thanks, gratefulness, goodness to all, understanding all why they are for what they are. Wishing you the best.
Life, in fact is a finer blend of gloom and glee; Wow! ! ! ! I like this line..... 'tis my life....top marks! ! !
Life is a composition, balancing the bitter with the sweet - all things considered. The balance is necessary. For example, it’s good to be able to smile during the bitter times; that’s what gets us through. A good poem for encouragement. : -)

When I was young I cried every second I found, but when somebody came by, I was ready to smile. That smile stuck on me, now I do not have to cry anymore, I can be kind and smiling all the time. It is a good feeling.
