Circus Of Life Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

Circus of life

Out of time and space;
Descended a soul upon this world
Performed many a stunt
That mesmerized the world
Applauded and clapping showered
But the pains, joys and sorrows hide
In my smile masqueraded

Many years have passed
Since the time, a drop of love dropped
Upon the breast of the earth
From the ocean of God’s love
Treasured in my heart
And as the years speed by, I
Step- up my love for stunts
Show my talent to the rest of the world

Throughout day and night I strive hard
Perform stunts with perfect art
With emotions, move steps with guts
And the world, like a lion tamer
Whipping me for joy and pleasure
An entertainer entertaining the world
Dancing, jumping, laughing and weeping
Doing my best and to God leave the rest
Never feel tired as thriller needs no rest

Despite all this and behind all this
Flow stream of thoughts as to what life is
Oh, God, tell us what we are and why we live
We come, breath, love and cease
Homeless wanderers craving for rest and peace
Through struggles and strife of life
And find love with tears and smiles
And as I muse upon the wonders of life
I sum up the whole farce of life, good or bad
As life and may be better called as circus of life..........
