I Know My Life

MY HAPPINESS AND SORROW

      My heart is full of joy, also tears,
      loaded with events years after years.
          
         For life,
                  Happy happenstances to adorn.
                   Memories of worries left to mourn.
                   At end, in abyss of emptiness thrown.
          
      Random activities now confined in closed contour.
      Associates are away, children in respective sectors.
     Broad spectrum of life is shortened,
      Only to be busy on self care,
      realizing every moment that life is accelerating to reach terminal.
                                    
        I only know what I know,in joy and sorrow         
        Enjoyed love, shocked on betrayal, succeeded or failed, 
        But nothing remains, no imprints.
         Everything so trivial.
         Time will wash out all.
