Metamorphosis of Life
Birth is the breath of life.
The first kiss of air that
Simulates the virgin lungs.
As the lungs expand and collapses,
a new life has begun, with a shrill cry.
Unlike like a shooting star.
that gloriously streaks the sky,
and vanishes in a moment in time.
Its like a drama that unfolds,
mysteries of life.
Its not static, ever dynamic.
Constantly changing the rhythm.
You transform, from your infancy.
When you were just a bundle of joy.
To the stage of little kid.
Who now represents the imp.
You, further get surcharged,
to the teenage state of mind.
Compelling facts and deceit,
progress the teenage ways.
Most confusing days of your life.
You loose the dreams of the teenager.
And never look back.
Graduate to your stage of adulthood.
This is the most fascinating days of your life.
You dream the dreams of dreamers.
Simulated by the love of life.
You want life to be never ending.
Riding the carousel of life.
Filled with happiness supreme.
Spiced with aroma of love.
Tantalizing thoughts of erotica flash by,
giving you sleepless nights.
Some where in the corner of your mind,
love has not deserted you.
In the latter days of your adult life.
Having established firmly your name to fame.
Its time you seek the companionship of a spouse.
You search for the one , you heart desires.
Elements of joy, peace and love sublime.
Your childhood sweetheart is within your reach.
But there is hesitation in your heart.
Then one day, like the shooting star.
You propose to your hearts desire.
She was thrilled to hear the words.
She dreamed one day you would say.
In early spring you wed.
You were in the twenty fifth Year.
Life joys, aches and pain.
Were rewarded by marital bliss.
You procreated two bundles of joy.
And gave them best you could.
Meantime the love of your life stood steadfast,
By your side.
Sharing the joys of life.
Your kids are now all grown up and well equipped.
Ready to face the challenges of life.
And the cycle of life continues.
Meantime age is catching up.
You enjoy your retired life.
Touring the countryside.
Enjoying nature and all her beautiful sights.
Life has been so good to you.
You give back a little of what she gave to you.
Your kids are now married and well settled.
Attained the glory of becoming grandparents.
Life has been so good to you.
Age is slowly catching up.
You can tell from your gait.
Grand kids are your greatest pride.
You take them for joy rides, and to the parks.
Watch them grow to be naughty kids.
You pamper them with love.
And one warm Summer night.
As you lay next besides your love.
You rolled over to her side.
And planted final kiss on her rosy cheeks and her sweet lips.
And thanked for all the love she gave to you.
And all the moments of joy and pleasure you shared.
She held your face in palm of her supple hand.
looked you in the eyes and said. "I'll always love you".
You said "I feel exhausted, I am going to rest".
She held you in her arms close to her chest,
she knew...!!
You lived a glorious life
And vanished into the haze.
Peacefully, into the arms of death.
