My Wonderful Youth
In yesterday of yore, tangled in solicitous love
I was once a child.
Laughter and Joy
Fairy tales and toys.
I wondered why..the sun was yellow.
Books, papers, pens and crayons.
I wondered why....the sky was blue.
Pebbles, sticks, sand and clay.
I wondered why... clouds were white.
Cookies, muffins, cakes and candy.
I wondered why... butterflies danced.
Running, Cycling, playing in courtyard.
I wondered... so many why's....
The day light kindred dramas...
The dark night film theatres..
Reality apparelled in Adventures and Action .
Wind of dreams in my heart..
Fire of fear in my mind...
I stepped into the bridge of teenage.
I could see on the other side far away
A sceptical Adult...
I just wondered why....
I could no longer throw a tantrum and cry.
