Roots
It began at the top,
Slowly ,steadily and truly,quite not perceptibly,
The depreciation in matter,
Human matter at that,
Does it with all,age spares none,
Bones,muscles,blood,veins,arteries,parts,
All weaken and function less,
But can you weaken the bond,
Mental,emotional and love bonds,
That got hinged to one and all in family,
And immediate society at large,
It happened with me one day,
That my mother depreciated real bad,
The day she collapsed,
Physical I could explain,
But mental and emotional I could not,
The root had shrunk to dust,
But the offshoot was now a full tree,
Going to its own death.
