Leafing through pages
of book called life
I realize I have lot to imbibe
Many pages turned
little remain to be read
still the mystery remains
about secret within.

Going through the pages
I have already read
I find the need to
read them again.
I need to understand
rules of the game.

Well worn and crumpled
are pages I have turned
some narrate the pains
other describe the gains.
turning the pages once again
I realise
it was worth every penny
playing lifelong game.

I look at the pages
yet to be read
at each turn I wonder
what lies ahead
suspense remains hidden
in pages still unread.

Taking each page as it comes
Worrying not for unknown
Enjoying moment it brings
Seeking just joyful reading
I look forward to ending
this book called life
