Just personal views about the passage of life. It showcases a gamut of feelings in brief |
When I was really young, I recall Feeling secure elated and all. My whole world had this charm It was insulated from harm A dream, a fairy tale To charm, Life did not fail Happy outing and endings Laughter, fun never ending A series of trips back and forth To the club and movies! Hide and seek with siblings The luxury of attendants, On exquisite vacations, more of love and pampering. Life was a mammoth fair, It ended abruptly, that was not fair. Then Adolescence rocked my world Laughter and thrill They danced and twirled In my world. I recollect so much of joy along with some pain A myriad of incidents; So much experience to attain. A giant Kaleidoscope of colours, The joy and hope I gave to others. Marked by the first thrill of every experience juvenile; The intoxication of crushes, And the bitter sweet pain of first love and its nettles. They were dizzying heights, But farewell youth, alas Why did you have to fade? Becoming an adult, ushered in plenty of promise and hope. Initially, it was wonderful Slowly I realized one had to cope, At times, the tension felt like a tightrope ‘Cause freedom always comes with a price Shuttling between job hunting and love, I had to implore aid from above, ‘All that glitters is not gold,’ Suitable adage for adulthood. The flow of time was too swift To enjoy the solace of friends. Marked only by routine and care, So I’m learning, ‘ happiness is a state of mind’ This, with you I had to share |
