C'Est La Vie Poem by Sumana Sarkar

The Twists & Turns
The labyrinth called life continues
A rugged terrain, of highs & lows
A vision of a distant deep green oasis
The spectacle of a dry parched desert
The happy alleyways effortlessly merging with sad lanes
The little spots of brightness, the dark corners
The blind end, the wide expanse, the distant dream
C'est La Vie

The grey patches, the sudden turn
The oh so unexpected
We live, we learn
We cry, we have fun
Of joy & sorrow, of the many tests
The Challenges, the panic
The fatigue, the exhiliration
C'est La Vie

Of the many hues, a labyrinth like none other
The bright yellow, the warm orange, the dark violet
The calm blue, muted green, the passionate red
Of blossoming & wilting away
Of falling down & standing up
Of despair & hope
Of sunshine & grey clouds
C'est La Vie
