I Discovered That

51

By Umna Safdar

 There I sat in the half shut window

with moist eyes and expressionless face

gazing gloomily at the dark sky which roared

and made itself more frightening,after lightning

are the stars really happy that glitter???

or having feelings very bitter??

is that moon just a fake??

or is really for our sake???

as tears fell from my eyes by a blunder

so from the sky with a thunder

with my conscience stricken

I discovered that

meaning of life is to live merry

and let others live cherry

whether the stars and moon are delighted or not

they have to show elation

for our gratification

I discovered that

meaning of life is

to live for others

I discovered that

meaning of life is

to make life meaningful

Umna: This is an inspiring journey from gloom to meaning. I agree with Richard Craig's comment above about your lovely last lines: "I discovered that the meaning of life is to make it meaningful."

Voted up, beautiful, interesting

This is a beautiful poem. Nice metaphors. I like the last five lines and the message. "Meaning of life is to live for others." "Meaning of life is to make life meaningful."
