(still in discussion)

“In a day so bright
An eclipse makes us wonder
In the vast sky so blue
A thunder makes us shudder
In an ocean so wide
A whirlpool brings to our mind
Why are obstacles sprinkled on every path of life?

But then, the ray of life glitters
The memory of the sweet lullaby inspires
Nothing precious is achieved without a struggle
The taste of sweet success brings us insurmountable joy


In a night so quiet
A solitary sound makes one turn
In a world of sorrow
A gentle smile gives new hope
In a life full of hardships
A moment of peace makes everything worthwhile”.

The first two lines and last six are mine and remaining lines are not mine (u guessed it right)....they are penned by a talented person, who prefers to be anonymous. Any comments on the poem will be passed on to that person.

Q & A

Why do I despair?
When there is still hope.
Why do I doubt?
When things are certain.
Why am I restless?
When there is peace all around.
Why am I worried?
When the world is carefree.
Why am I unhappy?
When everyone is in bliss.
Why do I ask why?
When I know all the answers.
