Life

the path of life may sometimes be smooth

as straight as a die cast

by the gods above

or an endless landscape of peaks

and valleys

climbs and descents

hard work

for some

a walk in the park

for others

the easy path may be preferred

but if you don’t climb those mountains

you never get to see the view

    So true Paul ! On some paths we are blinded by the rain, but what a treat when we look back over our shoulder and the rainbow finally shines through.

    “Life is all about perspective..and Geometrical Drawing (GD) too is about perspective”… when the GD professor said that it was laughter in the class…am reminded of that class here…with that picture and words :)

    The fun i think is that only from the bottom of a mountain, one could have a perspective of the mountain itself….am i right?

    Good poem, Paul :)

    Life…a long and interesting road.I think that sometimes we keep searching something in life and we run on different roads until we find what we search.

      Hopefully we all find what we’re looking for on the journey, before we reach the end. It can be long and arduous, but it can also be filled with special moments not to be missed.

    yes, Paul….we find meaning as we move ahead- – One mustn’t write an autobiography until one is dead, someone has said that :)

    I must be after the view. ;-)

    Sometimes the views suck, but honestly, where’s the creativity in an easy path. If we had easy paths, all we’d do is dwell on the mountain ranges we’ve crossed already. :)

    • Paul Andrew Russell says:

      Yes Medicated Lady, and if it was easy we wouldn’t recognise the beauty of the good view when we finally got to see it.

      Maybe the views that suck are the ones at the end of the easy paths.

      Thanks for dropping by. :-)
