Unearthing Life 6

The youth in me tries to be always happy
and spread the same happiness.
But to tell the truth,
 as the hair turn grey one by one,
one starts thinking about too many things ,
 thinks about getting more number of things right .
The tight, cautious approach deters many things,
It closes our eyes , our ears , nostrils .
One gets really surprised to know that , but
None can avoid the inevitable .

The 'River' called life flows that way,
That is the way we roll.

I wish there was a time in our life when we could "rewind", re-live a moment, one singular moment of our life. We could only re-live it though, we couldn't change it. Can you imagine the effect it would have on the rest of our life?

Good to read you again, Anand!

Time goes by us all and hopefully time comes to us as we go. Nicely written poem Anand, I enjoyed reading this very much so.

So true. I'm only 33 and I feel like I am trying to latch onto happiness the way I did when I was younger. Really good write, thanks for sharing.

Hello Anand!

Once retired and alone you can get some of life's things out of the way. Watch & study the current, navigate accordingly, hopefully magic comes into play.

You have a good shovel Anand!

Regards,
Al

Life moves ever faster as we grow...time is or wasn't ever ours...lovely reflective piece xo

Yes the river flows as us downstream, a few bruises and bumps and as we reach the end washed ashore, we look back and wonder if we did that right? Is it satisfying to us now? Nice job...

Wow ! After a long hiatus, it surely feels wonderful to visit your world. The poem resonates so well with the climate of my mind. Well, your ink is such -profound !
Cheers my friend.

Very nicely written and really makes me think about how I think about things while getting older. Some things just aren't so important as they once were. Great poem.
