Poem
In the supine chambers of my mind: 
Thoughts of different hues spring up unsought
They crisscross like fireflies in the dark  
Dancing virtually 3D all night

Love isn’t always reciprocal
In several cases; many will vouch.
One way traffic, is true in love too.
Romance and marriage being exceptional ties 

Are stereotypes and status quo a boredom?
How does one retain self respect and dignity?
Is getting old akin to walking up hill 
Does pursuit of virtues lead to spirituality?

The Generation gap is absolute
Senior citizens get branded folks
Age ushers feelings of isolation 
Is ‘time to quit’ the next foreboding?

Does seniority start at Sixty?
Or in Seventies, Eighties, Nineties?
What about one hundred and plus?
Is a senior human an asset or a liability?

Spouse alone is synonymous with trust
For guaranteed love and care 
For emotional and physical relief 
Tending siblings rank the best 

Is keeping one to oneself not right?
Prayers offer solutions to a roller coaster 
life
Joint family promises solace
Yet freedom in old age makes little sense 

Are old friends the choice to confide 
the troubling thoughts?
Is it the close acquaintance or 
childhood stamp?
Do love, romance, relationship leave 
a soft touch?
Are passions just avenues for escape ?

What about the thoughts that bombard?
Gratitude forgotten and guilt unpardonable 
Victories cherished and challenges pocketed 
Defeats shunned and
despondency sunk

How about happiness on achievements 
Missed opportunities weighing heavy
Hopes brimming and despair haunting
Victories inspiring and failures devastating

What about lingering memories of 
good and bad?
Causing ripples in the pools of mind 
Betrayal, ingratitude and sorrow,
Love, friendship and separation.

The night is always dark and silent
Many times sleep is far and evasive
Yet the eyelids close for rest
When the fireflies stop to fly!
