Life! Poem by Shreej k.c

As we enter this earth unconditioned
the first cry resounding our existence
generous world bestows limitless choices
or should I call it stingy
bombards with conflicting noises!

We can choose to watch or make it.
a constant struggle ceaselessly
or let it unfold effortlessly.
We can weave our own perspective
call it reality, subjective or objective.
Life is an illusion, we avow
or its a forever here and now.
We can pursue mind or matter
or experience both the platter.
Be liberal, see concepts with relief
or hold on to the fixed belief.

To avoid suffering or cuddle comfort zone
we like to believe
everything happens for a reason
we tune our head, set the vision
deduce meaning out of meaningless
reduce meaningful to unmeaning
look for ways, build fences around
to make out sense, avoid chaos surround.

We can sow a seed as a child and see
it grow up with us to a tree
differing moment to moment
or wander endless searching our self
while pleasantly handing out pieces
and patching other's over our crevices.
We can choose any course, flow like a river
until we face our common defeater
-the Death.
Well you can still choose relentless
immortal souls and impermanence
cycle of death, rebirth and nirvana.
As for me, my lids are heavy now
[YAWN] I better go to sleep!
