Retirement

I looked around my little cubicle
Used up days months years
Those files lying stacked up 
Decades piled up to reach the dream
And here I am about to retire
Most of my life, till then perspired!

The game the goal that made me wait
I watch the setting sun that holds my fate
And like those colours in a twilight sky
I take anew each day each date and try
Moments to savour, cherish, create!

In the storm of life this is the calm
The waters seem still a soothing balm
Time for reflection time to be filled
The solution elusive the outcome unknown
A new chapter to life, who can condone!
