"WHAT NEXT??"

I do not know whether to laugh or cry?
On the couch, how long shall I lie?
To take life as it comes is indeed hard!
What it offers keeps boredom on our guard!!
Comfort and luxury are at beck and call.
Opulence coated lifestyle invites envy of one and all.
This ‘coat’ may cause longing in most.
The hidden solitude is seen by the least.
"Interesting" middle age is a boon to fortunate few.
Rest is on a search drive to find something challenging and new.
Newly found activity and hobby shall keep frustration at bay.
How to tap or discover those, none can say!
Least interests and limited potential drags life to a blind curve.
To decide upon ‘what next’ twists and turns every nerve.
At the pinnacle of success is the ambitious life partner.
Children in their teens’ end no longer need a gardener.
Home maker is at her wit’s end with free time all over!
Eyes are forever locked on the hour pointer.
Come what may, I shall not move says the clock.
May be that too is in its middle age’s mental block??!!
