The Body Has Gone Frail
the body has gone frail
chasing dreams,
till youth is spent
on chances missed
to walk in vain
in chasing a meaningless aim
to wake from idyllic illusion
and confronted by life’s endless monotone
it seems just yesterday
the heart lifted pleasantly
in reaching a new height,
shaping a good life
but chances are bare
and opportunity rare
time is a pressure
and people are sperm
Soul’s strength now diminished
I’m half way but can’t reach it
inspiration nowhere in sight
but still burning my dwindling spirit
