"Life is a Riddle" is a poignant exploration of the delicate balance between friendship, trust, and betrayal, set amidst the serene backdrop of nature's beauty. Through vivid imagery and evocative language, the poem traces the journey of a farmer as he navigates the complexities of human relationships. Themes of hope and deceit are skillfully woven together, prompting readers to reflect on the unpredictability of trust and the potential for betrayal even within the most idyllic of settings.

In a field where stars twinkle,

A farmer tended, in solitude's grace.
With each gentle breeze, and every whispered plea,
He nurtured bonds, with love's decree.

A bird came, with wings of azure hue,
A messenger of hope, in skies so true.
With feathers soft, and a song so sweet,
It brought a flower, a friendship to greet.

Beneath the warm caress of the radiant sun,
He sowed seeds of trust, where futures began.
But the wind, carried whispers, of a tale untold,
As shadows lingered, amidst the fields of gold.

Then came the rain, with its soothing refrain,
Nourishing hopes, amidst life's refrain.
But within its droplets, a hidden truth lay,
A stolen glance, leads hearts astray.

For the moon, with its peace, and the stars, with their glow,
Reveal not the secrets, that quietly grow.
In the garden of hearts, where dreams once thrived,
Shadows loom, where trust is contrived.

Let this tale linger in your mind's depths,
A reminder of bonds, sometimes unkind.
For in nature's embrace, where beauty lies,
Even the strongest hearts, can harbor disguise.
