I know,
One day the spark will
come
And will light on the pyre
I’ll have to go
May be, I’ll tap-dance all the way
I’ll walk on heaven…secure,
yet all alone.
I know,
With each step forward
I’m moving closer to
the finish line.
Time is in constant
motion-
We have bridges to
cross
Hindrances to surpass
-the problems make me
wonder
What if there were
none!
Life is a gift
It’s worth celebrating.
We don’t know if there’s
another life,
We don’t know what
happens next
So let’s celebrate…
Count blessings
Count stars!
Gather 'round
and celebrate life
cherishing each moment.

Yes, let's! And then when "the spark will come
ReplyDeleteAnd will light on the pyre" we'll have been part of the celebration and worthy of sacrifice. Thank you!
Yes, I agree. We must find a way to celebrate life.
ReplyDeleteI wonder. If there were really no challenges would we appreciate life for its fragile beauty. Would we appreciate the small blessings. Perhaps we will appreciate what comes next all the more for the toil it took to get there. In the mean time, yes, definitely celebrate each day as if tomorrow were the finish line.
ReplyDeleteI resonate with the wondering in this poem. I am at that part of the journey myself.......I believe! Meanwhile, I celebrate this beautiful earth.
ReplyDeletelife is indeed a gift...so celebrate with gratitude
ReplyDeleteYes, so much to celebrate! Life is a gift we really cannot take for granted.
ReplyDeleteYes of course we should, we only have to look around us to see how fortunate we are, so we should make the most of it.
ReplyDeleteOf course we should celebrate life - the lives of all things. As long as we celebrate, we have hope.
ReplyDeleteCarpe diem! A wise old Native American chieftan said "There is no death ... only a changing of worlds". We should try to savor this one and look forward to the next, it seems. Great write.
ReplyDelete"Life is a gift / It’s worth celebrating." Agree totally specially when time is so limited. A beautiful reflection.
ReplyDeleteYes, we might as well celebrate now, because we might not get a chance later.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more, Panchali. Let's celebrate life! Beautifully conveyed.
ReplyDeleteYes life is a gift which sadly most of us never fully appreciate.

What supreme confidence.
How I wish it were so easy when all I have been told that Yama kinkaras would come in due time to drag me with the noose around all the way to hell.
