The Different phases of life

                     Different phases of life are akin to that of the moon,

                     Some humans shine brilliantly while some fade away too soon.

                    A new moon depicts the arrival of a new beginning, and dark is the sky.

                   A waxing crescent is when we open our eyes and begin to cry.

 

                    As the moon begins to grow, and half the moon is lit.

                   We crawl slowly as infants, drooling all over with our spit.

                   When the waxing stage of the moon arrives, to school and college we go,

                    We tend to lose our innocence and purity but swell up with pride and ego.

                  

                     On the onset of the full moon, we reach the peak of our glorious lives,

                     Juggling between job and family responsibilities, the human society thrives.

                     Then, as we start aging, the waning of the moon begins,

                     We resort to pilgrimage and holy places to pay the prices for our sins.

                    During the last quarter of the moon, it dwindles in its size.

                    Uncertainty is the only certainty, so do not be taken by surprise.

                    When the moon wanes completely, and its light fades away.

                     It’s time to return our heavenly abode. So, let’s all silently pray.
