Troublesome, BUT.... !!!

Describing it is impossible for everyone,

Hard for many, but easy to none!

Its really very diffcult to understand,

Over it never can one have command..

It may look like a river, calm and still,

But the flood can destroy, as it may will,

Success is the ship and failure its sailor;

Latter is must for the former...

Both are equal to this river,

Can never own one, as its not so clever,

In some storm, if the ship is drowned;

Poor sailor, by death, is crowned..

It puts an end to this dramatic tale,

Soon they are forgotten by one and all!

It may be a plant, joys are its colourful flowers,

Thorny sorrows are unnoticed due to the essence it showers,

But every flower has to die, it is so sudden;

Now the plant completely seems like a burden!

Now it sheds the tears (i.e. its lonely leaves),

Then a "wanted hope", a new bud gives,

It tries to stay as a permanent smile;

But on blooming, may be plucked in a short while!

All this happens again and again,

This mystery ends with a great pain!

Quite interesting to listen, but its a FACT,

Which everyone is forced to act!

Always ready, like a sharp, beautiful knife,

It is, troublesome, but tolerated LIFE!!!
