Retrospect and circumspect

When words become rare, and time goes by
A smile or a long face is all that is left
Trials and tribulations galore
The all pervasive thought lingers on

Tucked into the corners, awaiting the axe
Darkest and deepest fears now ride the crest
New horizons beckon, hesitations accompanying them
Glimpses from the past, peeks into the future

An all too familiar territory, the actors have changed
The game stays the same, the rules anew
Uncertainties ruling the roost, the notes are lost
The music may change now, the lyrics still the same


The strive for excellence - the enemy of good
Heard that so very often, time to move on
The stifled yearning, venturing into adventure
Deja vu' all over, but why then the confusion

  1. It's like being stuck in a time warp...wondering which side of the clock will you be thrown into...

    I hear you boy!!

  2. Thanks N!

    But yes, I'd say you've hit the nail on the head with this statement!
    And that leaves us with just memories of the times of yore - and the feeling of being lost like Alice in wonderland. A deadly combination

  3. I agree...but as they say...this too is a phase of life...this too shall pass :)
    The mixed feelings will fade away and then there will be an awakening...

    Till then...keep writing
