MY POETRIES Christina John

Hello Everyone
This is Christina
This is my first poetry recitation podcast. 
I thought to use this medium to share my poetries with all of you. 
So, this is my second poetry to be made public. 
I've titled this poetry as 
My Conversation with Life
Let me give you a brief description of the thought process  behind this poetry. 
So, lately we've been hearing saddened news about people especially the youth ending their lives intentionally just to get rid of their burdens and anxieties also untimely deaths taking place giving us a reality check of how fragile our life is! 
And so this poetry is actually the molten state of my heart ready to be poured out giving Hope to the ones in despair. 

I hope you like it. 


My Conversation with Life
In the Journey across, I saw her pass
It was MY LIFE and I could not stop but ask
*Hey, Can we have a talk?*
And she Said, *Why not... Come with me..
Let's walk!"
I asked her ,"Why not halt, Sit and take some rest.? "
She said, "I cannot stop, for I have to move on. " But tell me, What's your quest? 
She sounded so busy, worried and stressed
I was too keen, inquisitive and gave a try. 
Asked her ... So tell me, How are you? 
"You should ask yourself", came her reply. 
I'm YOUR LIFE, and you should know it well. 
Is there anything You dont know and I should tell? 
I was silent for she was right
As we passed, she came across few friends. 
Joy, Sorrow, Success and Failure met regularly at every corner and bends. 
As I walked with her, at times I stumbled and fell, 
She said, "You've to face it. The road is not so smooth. It's a difficult trail."
Then came a mountain made of troubles on the way. 
Stress, depression and calamities were at bay. 
This is where people  get into a trap
They succumb to challenges, misery and mishap. 
She asked me If I can take this up and cross the bar. 
For I can hold you tight or leave your hand. 
It's all about the game in your mind and heart.. 
Be brave, courageous or fall and depart. 
Let us not be so fragile and weak. 
Bend to our sufferings and grumble and shriek. 
For testing times, count our patience and endurance. 
What we do with our LIFE, is of utmost importance. 
I had an amazing Conversation with Life. 
I asked her, "When can we meet again? "
She told ask "HOPE" , for the details of Where and When.
