Silence

Silence, a deafening silence

Scaring me to the core

Losing me from my path, from myself

With every passing event.

Not an unexpected sudden revelation for sure

Definitely not a first-time experience

Silence was already an introduced entity, I realize

All my questions of when, how, what and why find answers effortlessly.

With life passing by, experiences mellowing me

With kids growing up being independent individuals

With my interests, hobbies, and self-importance taking a backseat

Detachment, is it or so I think?

Accepting the transition is tough, but inevitable

The fact that life is a lonesome journey

It is all that is reaping what we sowed

Maturity, acceptance, or going with the flow or Karma?

But, counting on the positives, being an enthusiast

I wish to reason out and shout out loud

Not to anybody but to myself

Your time has begun now, live life to your tunes.
