Transience, Revisited.
Also, I wrote this poem as a parallel to one written by my friend Ashwini ( she wants to advertise.... so here is her space :) ) In case you are interested, the link is present in the side menu
Transience, Revisited.
An epitome of the edificial Life
Where moribund euphemisms are rife
Transience is what may burgeon self doubt
To forget what life is actually about
To believe that other's judgment is stout
And that taming the free spirit is paramount
But fear not, for it is also the passing of ages
An achievement, a landmark of Life's different stages
It is also the ripening of fruits, the change of seasons
A charade to understand that what you do, demands no dogmatic reasons
Although there are eyes which will judge you bluntly today
There will be eyes which will look for acknowledgement from you someday
Although there are faces today, which demand for you to be a follower
There will be faces someday, asking for you to be the leader
New faces and eyes will look to you for advice
Your virtues will then be respected, not treated as vice
Time will pass and Transience shall again set
But your voice shall be heard now as wisdom not naiveté
So cheer up, Dear friend, for life hasn't lost it's hues
Life is after all, a mélange of other colours and blues
To dream, to care, to move ahead,
To reclaim the smile, the song, the twinkle and be deep
Rather than being shallow instead
