Whispers of Senility

Reminiscing an illuminating star
Beaming in love and purity
A flickering flame of innocence
Budding flower of blazing summer
A faded echo of my previous years
Frolicking, while the devil snoozed
Like a free bird flapping its wings
Before the dark skies and pregnant clouds
Today, I wander amidst the labyrinth of my prime
A frightening road where the wind whispers
A youthful flame ignites within my core
Yet, I quiver in time’s cradle
Planting in each transient of time
A roaring Lion starving for dreams
Weighty hamper on sloping shoulders,
A weary Camel trudging, back throbbing
Like a ship sailing towards distant shores
My dreams abreast of the auspicious fate
But my vigour gently dozes in time
As I journey towards the abeyance.
