Enigma

Life is an enigma my friend,
It has many questions
But not always has answers
For say-

Life happens beyond our control;
Yet we still have to act in control.
Who controls this world-
Is beyond our thought,
Yet we try to understand it
With our thoughts.
O! What enigma it is?
Why does this happen?

We persuade beauty
Which is of the exterior
Ignoring what’s real.
We crave for pleasure,
The pleasure doesn’t last-
The beauty soon fades.
O! what enigma it is?
Why does this happen?

Love is what made us.
Love is what we seek.
Yet we don’t know this love
For in love there is bliss.
Whom do we love but us;
Yet we love ourselves not.
O! what enigma it is?
Why does this happen?

We try to evade time
That is the present
In dreams of a future;
Which is better.
The past is gone
But it haunts us.
O! what enigma it is?
Why does this happen?

Why does it all happen
And more such questions;
Life’s an enigma my friend .
Sometimes there are no answers.
