The Sonata of Life

–Sumathi Sankaran–

Takes you for a ride
For miles and miles 
You are full of smiles 

Suddenly...
You wonder why...
It seems like you fly or
Ride on a bike
Or taking a hike 

Every now and then
life throws a curve ball
Sometimes you're pushed to the wall 
Maybe on the floor you fall... 
even you roll like a ball... 
Or maybe like a spider you crawl... 

It's not something you planned
But soon you'll start to understand 
What you see is not what it seems... 
Crooked is not really crooked... 
Straight is not absolutely straight.... 
Smooth is not even smooth and  
Rough is not actually rough 

When the Divine Intervenes 
You'll realize then... 
What life threw at you is... 
A lesson to be learned

With an open mind you dive 
To face the challenge and survive 
Sail smoothly to reach the sky 
In your Sonata of Life.
