Cherish While It Lasts

Not every song makes sense to everyone;

A few selective tunes resonated peace to me;

As those tunes kept reminding me

The Meaninglessness of my mundane routine,

I chose not to listen to them…

Responsibilities of family, work and society

Kept on playing a jarring music in disharmony:

My senses grew numb to those chaotic cries,

They trapped me in the materialistic monotony

For decades of mindless madness…

When I notice shining silver strands on my head,

Noises numb my senses are heard no more;

My heart chambers are filled with echoing emptiness;

I try to recall the music resonated peace,

But my hearing aid doesn’t help any more…
