Life Is a Riddle (A Rondel Poem) from "Birthright: Poems for the Journey" by Devi Nina Bingham



Life is a Riddle
(A Rondel Poem)
Life is a riddle we shall never fully solve.
A mystery, a maddening marvel.
Try to dare it, and it will turn fatal.
Hold it too tight, and it dissolves.
I have tried to slow it down, but it continues to evolve.
At times an angel, but mostly the devil.
Life is a riddle we shall never fully solve.
A mystery, a maddening marvel.
The hands of time ever revolve.
It plays with my mind like a jigsaw puzzle.
Pieces do not fit, and I come unraveled.
I have tried to slow it down, but it continues to evolve.
At times I am an angel, but mostly the devil.
Life is a riddle I shall never fully solve.
