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!

i know the greyer i have gotten...the more i worry about getting things right, and the more cautious i have gotten...i miss my youth of reckless abandon...
and you are so right,
"none can avoid the inevitable"

Well put; your words are so true, as I've come to find out (as I have experience with getting older myself). Great poem!
