Living life
full of doing things, fixing and coming to terms
With all the
challenges that came my way
With my limited
awareness and knowledge
The bits that
were all mine - my kids
All grown-ups
now, it is all about the memories I cherish.
Now, entering
life’s twilight phase
Thinning hair, wrinkles, loss of
memory
Body, stiff and aching, and wisdom
deepening
Baffled silence, awoke me
Whispering ‘aren’t you lucky, you
can still breathe in’.
All affirming
the signs of ageing
I seek approval
from none
For my
intention being valid
Being a
responsible individual
My support, to
my dear ones is all that matter to me.
Time, a tickler
and a big-time healer
With Nature
dealing me
Aging, taking
away the charm of life
The incidences,
and happenings of life transcending me
All I wish is
not to be prodded.
Unable to build
what is lost
I surrender to
the nature
Wishing to fade
into oblivion
Resting gently
as I exit
Without toad
hands, prune face dried into lines.
