In Hindu mythology there are four Aashrams, Bal Aashram, Yuva Aashram, Grahsth Aashram and the fourth (I forgot its name) for the old persons. I agree with you life is at all not a dream, it's a reality but a mystery, too.
Here we call the fourth stage' Vanaprastha! Thank you for the thoughtful comment!
Life and its philosophical contexts are the important themes of world poets throughout and I find here a good poem and enjoyed.
It is a fine journey through Life's Cycles and I must say I share your philosophical viewpoint. It's as good a poem as I have read on this subject. Tom Billsborough
Each stage has its thrills and fills... That is great. It makes life interesting at every stage. Beautifully penned. I enjoyed reading it.
Each stage of life has thrill of life and death. We wake to sleep and sleep to wake. This cycle continues and we die to take birth and take birth to have death and this cycle is mysterious. Life is definitely a very deep miracle we should understand and awaken selves for spiritual growth to reach up to father of heaven....10
You took on a huge topic, rife with complexities, but you handled the reins with a gentle touch. Enjoined sharing your thoughts, following your philosophical journey through the stages of life. Excellent write. 10
Life is life is never an empty dream. We follow its mysterious cycle till our last breath, looking at others for some clues but never knowing what the future will bring for us...... Enjoyed the poem Valsa.
If Kelly Kurt is in late autumn, I must be in early or middle winter. I agree with him that this is well conceived and wonderfully written. Now I had better go outside and shovel some snow... :)
it is a nice poem. and this is life and there are varieties and there are things. not all the humans can keep smiling in poverty in search of something that can fill the great emptiness in there stomach and blood, and if there is anything 'Soul' it also gets holes
Beautiful poem cycling on its own orbits. Let us rise and fall like waves till not our life is lost forever. Loved reading it.
The cycle of life and death, don't think much about this round journey, enjoy it like a tourist and what else we can do. A lovely thoughtful poem.
We are born for this cycle but frankly speaking I could not yet understand the real purpose of this cycle. Anyway, we don't have any alternate and shall die in the dreams of a better cycle, perhaps someone is building some where in this endless universe.
Great pondering contrasting stages of life with the four seasons! Thought-provoking and philosophical too.
Now that we are deep in December Sitting back and trying to remember All the cycles that made us mellow Knowing that there will be fewer to follow Thanks Valsa
I really love this little poem (comment) of yours! You are an instant poet Loke!
Life, a miracle too deep to fathom And each man adds to the cosmic beat Human life completes its cyclic round Passing through stages four Beginning with childhood Skipping through youth and middle age And ending in crippling old age, Precisely as the seasons of the year! Another way to say that is the Shakespearean lines: Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. Thank you for this deep contemplation of faith. Nice poem as usual Valsa
Life! Each stage has its thrills and fills. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Being in late autumn of life, I can identify with this well conceived and wonderfully written piece.
Marvellous! ! ! a very profound work that contains a treasure of wisdom. Written with great skill. The thoughts flow in a melodious rhythm. Expression is superb. Full marks to you.
The cycle of life and death itself is divided into stages where one experiences changes in body and attitude. Clever use of metaphors to drive your point. Beautiful! !
This is very deep to fathom life and we try sometimes to fathom. Human life completes in cycle and this is very miraculous in nature. In chain of life we find a link. Cycle of life goes on through birth and death. This poem is deeply philosophical and magical. Thank you very much for sharing this...10
