Man is like a singing bird that on the tree alights,
Perches on the branch awhile, chirps a little and flies.
By Iqbal
What is life a brief sojourn
Dreaming,of some lovely morn,
How much lifespan,I simply muse,
Lets put our life to some use,
Some call it a riddle or puzzle
Some call it a hollow bubble,
Some call it a tempest wild,
Some call it ephemerally fragile
Life is transient, a voyage,
A beautifully decorated stage,
Why its described,or measured,
Why not embraced,and treasured,
It's a garden, where I can grow,
Flowers of my choice in a row
Where thorns would be equally best
Putting me sometimes to a test

A poem that illustrated the many stages one traverses in this phenomenon… we call… life… and does indeed complement your opening words by Iqbal, who speaks of life as a bird who “…Perches on the branch awhile, chirps a little, and flies.”
