Elderly’s day break

                                         Sun is set to shine
                                      Streets start humming 
                                       Birds are ready to fly
                                  Trees awaiting the shadows
                                            I start my day

                                             How it goes?
                               Yesterday's hangover continues
                                           Though diluted,
                                  New engagements creep in
                                           May be exciting

                                    Sound of kitchen utensils
                                    From the adjacent house
                                      Horn of the school bus
                                    Steps of running children
                                  Enrich neighborly ambience

                                           Life is a routine
                                  Filled with occasional thrills
                             And memories, sad, good and bad
                                    At times laughable being
                                      Puerile delinquencies

                                      Much water has flown
                                      Black turned into grey
                                Many left, distances enhanced
                                         Impulses subdued
                                      Age is fast taking over
