Life's Rail

Life's rail

Chugs along

Enters a new territory

Each morning

Whistling a melodious song

Life's rail

Gathers speed

Elicits momentum

Crosses barrier

Pushes deadlock

Constantly remains

On the bounce

Dares conquer limits

To achieve greater heights

When age is on this side

Life's rail

Lessens speed

Halts at many a station

Seeking peace and recuperation

Gets less crowded

More than oft

Like a deserted road

In a sultry afternoon

And pale looks of

Waning moon

Life's rail stops

After limping

For a few years

As per game's configuration

Memory of salad days

Pure longing of good times

Keeps haunting

The crippled mind

And a deep sense of gratitude

Dawns upon

Fills core

Obeisance for the Almighty pours

For all love and blessings

In the lifetime

And having been

Taken care of.
