Life is a puzzle.


  My life's a mess
     pondered I,
scattered , confused
directionless , no map
How do I gather thyself?
   Where do I heed?




                  Strewn irregular pieces
                     across the floor
                        stared at me,
                     mocking teasing ,
                     injuring my pride,
                 beckoning to challenge,
                    in a brain's game.



                                   Defeated , I shall not be
                                  sat down and ruminating
                                         gathered the bits
                                  in my mental frame of mind.
                                      tackled one at a time
                                    formed a larger picture
                                           of a gay smiley.
                                   



The perfect picture
smiled and winked
spilling words of wisdom
a rippled mind creates a stir
A calm mind steers towards the goal.





Smile , if you haven't , a good facial exercise. Life is a puzzle until unsolved. Once the jig-saw 

pieces are arranged in order and a larger picture emerges making us feel that life's not so 

difficult.

  2. That was a new way of tackling life's challenges like forming a perfect picture out of scattered bits.
    'a rippled mind creates a stir
    A calm mind steers towards the goal." These lines summed up the way to go

  5. The big picture is what matters. Very true. Life is all about putting the pieces where they belong. :)

  6. Life is a puzzle but getting caught up studying each individual piece can make a person crazy..so focusing on the big picture is best. This post was so clever!! ♥
