What is Life?

I see life passing by everyday...motionless, tiptoed...
It plays with me hide & seek.
In a blink of my eye, its gone..
I try to catch hold of it but in vain,
I know not where is it ...?
Motionless, tiptoed...passing by.
I see life changing every second, minute, hour,days,years..

Motionless ..tiptoed!
I try to catch hold of it in my eyes never to open it again,
But alas! it escapes...
I see life in the morning in the chirping of birds,
I see life in my daily chores,
I see life on my mobile calls,
I see life saying good bye..
Standing alone watching the children going to school.
I see life in the sound of a cycle bell or a rickshaw, a car passing by...!
In the evenings setting of the Sun,
Keeping the promise to rise again tomorrow..I see life
Waiting for life to come back home..
Sit by my side & share my stories.
I try to catch hold of the moments but again in vain...it escapes!
I wish I could catch hold of life & lock it in a closet,
Never to open it again....
When my last hour will come,
I'll catch life in my eyes & never open it or let it escape,
I'll make sure it remains with me forever & ever.
