Resolutions

As autumns of dear life, I endeavor to face, Reminiscing in springs, memories I retrace; Cognizant that splendor of seasons will end, Seeking amends, life’s goodwill I befriend; Resolving to shed grimness trapped in yore, Discarding grievances, hatefulness I abhor, Filling voids with wisdom of enlightened soul, Welcoming endearment aging vibes cajole. Harmony I shall hoist, to apex of its tempo, Strumming mirthfully rhythms of tomorrow, Freed from obscurity of yesterday’s shadow Rejoicing with family on life’s sunlit meadow. Hosting sentiments that elucidate life anew, Ethereal I wish to woo~ revered, and true, Pleading for bliss of heaven, eternal as time, Living and letting live, in tranquility sublime. Disavowing shackles of material, mundane, Compassion I’ll chase of benevolent domain Redressing incongruence, vying virtues divine, Steering autumns of my life till values align.

Vijay, you have a wonderful talent to create creative things, and I agree with all of your ambitions. You have a natural gift for poetry. What a well-thought-out and well-executed piece of writing.
