She is Life!

[Ratus Ratus]

alright uncle...First you didn't understand the basic metaphor within the poetry and later when someone finally helped you with it,you came back making ridiculous conjectures about my age?
truly rubbish!!!
I read this poem ...I loved the way Gibran talks metaphorically about the rise, subsequent fall and circle of life...I thought to share it with the forum members and You think I'm not old enough?
BTW who told you my age?
if someone did ...how do you know it's true? YOU need to grow up!

Go further into the meter it has depth..

First life runs in the circular pattern you make reference to, its rises and falls so to speak. This movement is not as one might suggest but operates in a random manner. So to represent life it can bee seen as fickle. That is changes at a whim.
But you the observer of this and in essence have a limited control of your life and your life circle. The fickle nature may be controlled.

The poem its words and meaning are valuable and does represent life in a generalised manner.

All I did was take that metaphor further. I fail to see why I am not entitled to do with any poetry as I have not detracted for its original essence.

I am not your uncle and as for age so what, I am at the end of mine.
So have respect to someone who has seen much of life, its ups and down, its life giving and its life taking, it good side and its bad.

Dont tell me to grow up till you pass my age.

Ratus!
thanks for explication and appreciation.
Since I know nothing about your age , life experience and knowledge so dont expect me to respect you untill you respect others' opinions.As a matter of fact ,thats the least you can do if you want to gain respect at such a place.
I wont call you uncle but you also dont judge people's wisdom by their age and tell them "you are not old enough"!
in short do NOT presume.

hey Miss16 and Sir RR, you both got it wrong.

Miss 16:RR just wanted to say that no one understand what LIFE is however old one goes, the bitter truth just show up only when ever you farther away from LIFE, into the darkness on death. Only then you realize what LIFE was all about. And then your misgivings come back to you as daggers.

So the sooner you realize what life is, the better it is, live your today, so that when you reach RR's age (pun intended) you dont feel miserable (without reference to RR-i bet RR would be happy and contended with his meaning of life)

RR: The girl is a bit you know khee khee khee (again, pun intended), so give it up and chill.

Let's all enjoy the life

enigma947:
Well I have no hassles..
But not too shore about the chill bit, its almost winter here and cold anyway.


I will let you know about my meaning of Life when it ends. That is the only why to know all about it.
But since as the saying goes, only the good die young, I have years left to go. Till then I am enjoying it all.

Yesterday, Today, and tomorrow​

I said to my friend,

"see her leaning over his arm?
Yesterday she leaned over my arm."​

And he said:

"Tomorrow she wil lean over mine."​

And I said,

"See her sitting at his side;
And Yesterday she sat at my side."​

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will sit at mine."​

And I said,

"Don't you see her drinking from his cup?
And Yesterday she sipped from mine."​

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will drink from mine."​

And I said,

"Look how she glances at him with eyes full of love!
And with just such love, yesterday she glanced at me."​

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will glance at me likewise"​

And I said,

"Listen to her whispering sons of love in his ears.
And yesterday she whispered the same songs in mine."​

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will whisper them in mine."​

And I said,

"Look at her embracing him; and yesterday she embraced me."​

And he said:

"Tomorrow she will lie in my arms."​

And I said,

"What a strange woman she is!!"​

And he said:

"She is Life"​
