What Is Life? Poem by Abha Sharma
What Is Life?
Living
A breath in trance;
With
An incessant struggle;
Towards
An elfin joy;
For
An eternal hope;
Abides
A phenomenal routine;
Scrapped
A chronicle’s page;
Inspiring
Another breath in trance.
Abha, I liked this poem, there is life in each line, flows beautifully, life is a breath in between one trance, good
Inspiring Another breath in trance. how true.... u did justice to yr well thoughts...
Abha, Yours philosophical thinking for me it is very attractive, but this the routine is expensive really... Thank you for sharing, Rindest regards, Tsira
Hey is LFE really like this? ? wonderful that we still have life..
I wish life would have been like this... but in rality, it's a never ending itch!
'A breath in trance '. What do I make of this? I find this to be a more fascinating question than the one which inspired it. Perhaps, it is known in the east. In the west, there is no life or' breath in trance'. If I see a' breath in trance ', I shall tell you. That you will know that there is still life in the west. GW62
Dear Abhaji, Well written.... Here in Cochin, everything is a mess... So I feel: Life is a neverending itch!
Beautiful thoughts expressed in beautiful lines; 10/10! - Raj Nandy 30 May 08

whoa, very deep 'an incessant struggle' leads its way into 'elfin joy' i like that...i like the imagery of how troubling life can be but somehow elfs are more playful and innocent, maybe a place we wish to return sometimes.
