The re-aging

 


The sparkle of astonished soul

Enchanted at the unfolding life 

In quest of another opportunity 

To the virtue within,gets doused.

A sense of déjà vu staggers 

The mystical journey in woods

The groping and staggering in deep

Where intertwined foliage blinds

The piercing rays of blazing sun

One dares not stare into the sky

And unable to find a way within

Clasping at slithering support 

With limbs slimy in profuse perspiration 

The fangs of venomous sympathy 

That sting with a smile in the dark

Disenchanted by this blow of succour 

The puerile self fails again

Forged repeatedly by the reality 

The brittle child is smashed and buried

Till when everytime we peep within

The mirror wears a different mask

When things mean us and we the things

Where is the in-valuable ‘I’ in the re-aging?
