We live and we breathe,
For reasons intangible,
What life we perceive
Is just not so real…
What you are now feeling
Can very well be your dream…
It’s pretty vague and eluding
Reasons of life and living.
We are born and we die,
And work in between
We laugh and we cry
And think of things seen…
Yet again it won’t matter
When our life shall conclude…
Who is the Worlds maker?
And whether life was good?
We ask and we answer,
Think life as a game or quest
Yet nothing we can alter
Life still remains a mess…
Yet we persist useless living
Keeping faith, and believing…
That one day we shall know
Reasons of our every doing…

Pretty thought provoking stuff. Thanks for penning this for my contest.

Wonderfully thought provoking; each stanza give the reader more to ponder in a wonderful rhyming quatrain.

Your quest for the meaning and cause of life will take you a long way from distant. To places for which weird or bizarre are not earmark terms. The severely trodden paths lead nowhere apart form being utterly boring - a waste of footsteps and time. Many will keep telling you not to do that, but I guess they have been using maps all their life, have been lost all the time and gotten nowhere while following directions, so do not take them too seriously. Thanks for creating and sharing. Take care.

I love this! This whole write is as true as it can get. We all think about our lives and we wonder as well. The best thing about this was the flow. I love the fact that when you are reading it, it seems to carry you to the end. Fantastic job pranj! Keep on writing!
