Her Epoch

Beyond the times of struggle, I grew up
In blazing pursuit of success 
I sometimes lost myself
In depths of someone's envy
In closed limpid walls of mirror

Surrounded by many people
I perceived the very significance of life
They were what you call friends but they
never linger long in your life

Then, it dawned upon me 
They were but mere fancies of life
Ached my heart with the sudden revelation 
For memories that were embossed within me 

My life_  a tale. a saga it became
Some dreams abandoned 
Some achieved
I walked the crooked path and stumbled across
Fell and dusted the redundant

Then came a man,his presence strange
Added color to my blank canvas 
I care so he cared 
His likes became my likes 
Things I liked were left forgotten 

Dawn till dusk I remain reserved 
As wife, as mother, as an ideal woman
Wiped the mirror clean to see myself
Faint smile crossed my lips
My lovely hair left uncombed 

Years passed, children grew
My lovely hair glistened grey
Wrinkled face and an abrupt smile
Age long as the Nile

The departing time finally came
Every soul's end is same
You can never escape the inevitable
Darkness enveloped my weak eyes
Time certainly flies!
