Analysis of Life -A drop



Descending from a dark and wide nebula
 knowing no boundaries
 there comes a gleam of light ;

Piercing through the ether
It  seize to just fall
down and deeper
Now, the reality is getting apparent as well
2 more drops are  accompanying that drop.
Light reflecting the light.
Plethora of more drops too fall
Each with different velocities
Indeed, there are billions, no,
trillions of drops environing!!
The space around is beautiful and dazzling
There comes the emerald trees, flowers.
Now , the mountains , rivers, ponds.
Oh! the stars, sun , moon, other planets as well

Money is too floating  
Now, there started a duel
A battle out of lust
both within the drops and
 the drops with the surrounding glorious entities
The drop is still falling
Sometimes , shining heavily
or else, fading to perish
Dreams are penetrating through it
It too started dancing , baffling
and acting full of beans

What a grief -there is darkness
 all at the bottom now just the same
Hitherto, the drop rejoiced, laughed and giggled .
Then said-''I pursued my heart's call ''
Other drops were descending
to their fate as well.
At a glance,
the drop too hit the dark infinite and perished
Was not it a surreal life ?

About this poem

Life's comparison to drop falling from dark nowhere seize to fall into dark infinite. Emphasising on the journey as a beautiful joyful process and things seen aside while falling with a glimpse of current materialistic modern world (Sort of allegory)
