A Return Journey By An Auto Rickshaw

An auto rickshaw, a carriage
Like a tortoise
Returns
Along my obsolete graveled
Road.

The auto rickshaw rolls on:
My bucolic 
Rocks
Mirth of a birth,
Rapturously.

The auto rickshaw passes by a
Nuptial hall :a
Bride
Stands in the splendor
Borrowed.

The auto rickshaw pauses before a
Rural maze :
My
Career  knocks get
Mocked.

The auto rickshaw, the three
Wheeled, creeps through the 
Nostalgia
Scenting textbooks 
New.

The auto rickshaw halts now
On a lap, 
For 
The road is lost in 
Fog.

This a journey from the present stage(father) to the past.Road ends on mothers lap,where I am an infant ,and so my memory is vague there.

This is a unique and pleasurable way to invite us on memory road through a life time of experience and culture to the present foggy time. The past always seems so much more clear because we know what happened then, doesn't it Fabiyas? Thank you for the inspired rickshaw ride and your welcome comment
