Mortality - Mans greatest gift!

Sitting back to wonder, it strikes so strange, what many claim a curse is such a precious gift. We have stories, movies, fairy tales and folk tales, of the immortals, or the ones seeking immortality. But ever wondered what makes every moment of ours really matter to us ? If there was no dead end waiting ahead, would we think about the moment as much, or the next as such ?!

Thinking of what all this mortality has lead us to create - aims, goals, celebrations, fascinations, diversity; and all these just a beginning of an endless list! What drives ones midn to set out goals? What pushes ones heart to achieve those aims ? If we dint have an end awaiting, would those fascinations live in us ? If the future was an endless road, would our thoughts probe as rigourously ?

A simple truth and a fact of life, not a secret, and known to all. To life, it does mean so much, but the realisation is still far from happening. So many things around us in this world. Some are cursed, and some are loved, so many are cherished, and held so dear. So many are feared, and many more are hated! Some of the most trivial things, some believe is a curse, some believe its "fate".Yet under a different light, its a gift that drives our life! How many of us actually sit down to ponder on such trivialities ? But one such realisation could make your outlook to life a whole lot different ! Afterall that is life !

Feelings

For all said,
beyond all the might of a pen,
beyond all the inspiration of literature,
beyond all the power of expression,
burried deep, and swollen soft,
treasured dearly by any one and all,
somethings cannot be said, somethings cannot be heard,
somethings cannot be shown, somethings cannot be seen,
somethings cannot be felt, and somethings cannot be reached,
but one thing beyond all these,
is not all but a moment,
the moment so intimate,
when the morning due shys away from the rising sun,
when the snow melts to feed the river,
when the first rays of the sun, penetrate the virgin night sky,
when you look into the eyes, of the one you love
when the mother holds her child for the first time after birth,
when a child speaks the first word,
when the heart skips a beat,
when you take the last step to reach your goal,
One thing you will always know better than anyone else,
One thing you could never know fully about someone else,
Feelings.....
