A Decade Later

Identity

These are the days

of lost confusion,

of sleepy thoughts,

and lingering doubts.

Childhood is gone,

left watching behind

like the waving hands

of loved ones

at the station,

and you at the door,

moving away...

Youth is at its peak,

but its thrills

are dying,

like the taste

of chocolate

drowned

by a glass of water.

The future lies ahead,

unknown, scary, exciting,

like the beating of a heart,

in a moment,

as it witnesses a stranger's face,

Accidental, like love at first glance.

Life has nothing to do

with age.

Lives lived in one,

lives lived in many,

lives lived before

by those, who pass on

moments captured

is the path we are on.

Life unlived,

starting all over again,

like a child learning to walk,

like dancing in the first rain

all over again,

forgetting last year's wetness,

is the path to the future.

Think carefully, watch intently.

Life is about to begin,

it's around the corner.

Look out my love...

Life is coming your way...
