The Ladder Of Life
The Ladder Of Life
The serene moment of awe,
Clasped with soft wispy smiles
It looks all a haze at first,
When you enter the maze of life.
Your fingers seem to move on their own,
Your legs feel as if they can fly
You jump, you scream, you cry
Tears and saliva-- all bundled with your toys
Time seems to wind faster,
The hands of clock moving forward.
Heart beats palpating, cheeks glowing
And before you know, you are young
Memories and experiences make way
You don't know whether it's night or day
lass="ql-align-justify">Life seems a thrill.
Then the clock slows down,
It moves with a steady pace
Glasses chin up on your nose
Your mind and heart feels at ease,
Cool, calm and collected
'Wise' it speaks.
Seasons change
Trees turn from green to brown
Leaves wilt, cascading through your thoughts and desires
The wind whispers of the bygone days
You sigh and smile,
With tears in your eyes
It all looks as if you were born yesterday,
When you reach the top of the ladder of life.
