One Life

By Karishma Goswami

One Life,
One World -
Too short
To live Full,
Like a sunset wants to cover
The complete Horizon of the Earth.

Two eyes,
One vision -
Too hard
To see it,
Through the mist of doubt
That shrouds our view.

One heart,
Numbers of feelings-
Too important,
To feel yours
Like a river lost
In an ocean's embrace.

One mind,
Thousand thoughts-
Too risky
To think All,
Like the entertainment
Present surrounding you.

One you,
Unlimited wishes -
Too needed
To expand your limit,
Remember the child,
Who dreamed without boundaries?

Hundreds of problems,
One solution-
Too easy
To believe in yourself,
Like you do in your mother
To wake you up the morning another

One Truth,
All know -
Too hard to accept
One day, will die
Like a leaf fades by time
To complete the circle of the life

One Life,
One World -
Too short
To live Full,
Like a flower spreads the fragrance
Permanent though temporary

  • I am in love with your poem. ❤️ The structure and imagery have truly captivated me. The way you convey your thoughts and ideas is brilliant. My favourite part was the sixth paragraph, where I felt that choice of comparison (to a mother waking you up) is unique— it is simple, yet powerful. You are truly a marvellous poet!
