Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time I used to smile..
Not as dull not as fragile

A time under the clear blues,
And on the up-hill crawls,
Now changing all its hues,
By the feelings obscured by silent falls..

A time when happier I walked a mile,
It was the time when I used to smile..

Lekha, your musings are so beautifully expressed and colored in melancholy hues of reflective longings. Sad and shining poetry.
