Uphill 'N' Downhill Through Life

Take life for an escalator Go both through its ups and downs Ride it like on an elevator Expect both smiles and frowns. Take life for a suspense novel you and I unaware what the next day will hold Meditate and muse, or this book of life just peruse Pore over it to watch life's mysteries unfold. Take life for the open sea But pray drown not yourself in it lest you lose sight of God's shore and thereby lose all spiritual wit. Take life for a candle let its glow illumine others too and in each and every of its flicker Try finding a hint or clue Each soul's life unique as mazes of one's thumbprint And usually for many life's quite an uphill battle At times sweet as molasses, at times bitter as mint and life's roller coaster shakes you like a rattle. If you let yourself be intoxicated by life Be prepared for the hangovers Better taste of the goblet of life making right choices like wine conneisseurs Life tis like the rise and fall of notes Consoling to find people in the same boats Ah on life you can find a zillion quotes. Thus ponder over your life and reflect how good you've been to it and not just how it's been treating you Veer around the pit, and keep your path lit for darkness of the soul is for you unfit. (relates to the contest prompt in how we should live our lives being ourselves coz we are all unique but we should also blossom into a giving spirit at heart)
