Wins and Losses of Life

Are like

Written and Vanishing Scribes

In life, almost all of us must have gone through times

that might have associated traces of pleasure and pain.

Wins and losses are the phases of life that come and go,

like seasons of mother nature taking turns, high and low.

Seasons hold their own temperament to please us or make us strained.

Wins and losses in life too, bring their own clouds of pleasure or pain

Wins come thumping in back for stout chest, heads high and walking in stride.

Losses shatter our confidence, dump us in lump, draining our strength and pride.

We put ‘wins’ at undue height and bury ‘losses’ to the lowest level in life,

even though after worst losses, life still goes on, losers survive and come back up.

While winners with shallow wisdom, extravagantly turn success and fail in grace.

Only those with farsightedness maintain caution, plan wise and stay afloat in peace.

On the ocean-beach of life, wins and losses are mere scribes carved deep in to the sand,

which remain safe only in calm seas; but in high tides the waves do erase the scribes.

Let the wins or losses in life come and go, our God-given human life still prevails forever.

“Do not take impulsive actions, be it a win or loss; keep a balanced mind” is God’s order.
