Life: A kaleidoscope

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.” 
― Michael Cunningham, The Hours

Life, dear life, you fill me with awe

What could bind you, dare which law!

Zillion eyes have beheld you flow and stock-still

Millions and millions have bowed down to your will

Endowing seeds of new pursuits, as races fall

‘Granted take nought’ your eternal clarion call

In the midst of despair, all proclaimed you unfair

Mercy on us! Has anyone ever escaped death’s glare?

Ofttimes, baffled by inconclusive reasoning, in unison

Countless declared – you are an incomprehensible one

O Saviour! In a quest to decipher you every heart that prays

Wherefore, emanated enlightened souls to reveal your ways

That from Him to you, through you to merge in Him

That to fathom the nectar of life, would lead unto Him

Life dear life, are not you God’s Kaleidoscope?

Manifesting an infinite spectrum from darkness to hope…
