Old is Young ...A Poem by KousikaPouring some memories of childhood... Growing old is becoming tender in the heart..Growing older.. A small child’s biggest dream. The funny games.. The chase of mother.. The Hug of father.. Sweetest memories..
Morning Sun’s warm welcome.. Cow’s hearty wishes of Happy Morning.. Tree’s gorgeous command to dance with it.. Silent road’s sweet sense of peace in the heart..
I grew with these Wonderful Nobel Prizes.. Happy bath with sun’s giggling face to see me, my puppy’s cute voice to play with it.. What a man wants rather than this nature??
A demon came in the form of fairy to ruin this happiness that is, in the form of school .. But no either way. Initially, it was awesome.. Carrying a small bag with hot packed lunch, traversing in the bus with many new faces.. Inbuilt with same energy.. Different vision.. Diverse dreams..
As days passed, the fairy’s outer skin started tearing.. Became vigorous.. It had sub " demons like home-work, tests, ranks, grades .. Oh, God, how can a five year old baby tackle??
Then slowly, it became a cup of tea.. Usual works, usual scolding.. Days rolled off like a roller coaster.. My life whispered to shift to teen..
Butterflies started flying.. wherever I see.. whatever I see.. whomever I see.. All were beautiful.. Then a beautiful angel passed in my way..
Had I become that old ?? Can my back hold such a huge Responsibility ?? Mind asks repeatedly . ! . ! But heart’s head turned to her side.. Gradually, Heart pulled mind to it’s side.. Mind lend it’s ears.. Heart it’s eyes.. A cold war started and treaty was signed to surrender Me!!.. Years rolled by.. Now, too the same feel prevails.. Ears whisper that you're young man still.. Eyes opened.. Head turned towards the source of sound.. There...... My grandson portrayed, Come on, My old man.. Catch me.. I stood up gently with my angel holding my right hand .. Then, both uttered with a cute smile.. We are still
kids, Coming to latch you soon my little boy..
