The second bloom

Life is an eternal ecstasy
Flowering as ripe old age 
Liabilities over, shorn of shackles
Confined to oneself  and free to peep into
Fads and foibles lying dormant for decades
The wisdom at its best, with the strings few
Leaves, petals, breeze, dawn, dusk and dew 
As adorable companions offering divine notes
To the melody of heart, mood and passions
Echoing as penance, serenity and joy
With love, compassion and forgiveness
All in one 

The hidden hues come to the fore
With unknown treasure on the fingertips
Making million times richer and able
Turning thoughts in to wings, ready to fly
To reach the stars, moon and the clouds
The exciting  new self, hitherto unknown 
Opening days as an era of joy and thrill
Planning solo journey to new destinations

It is time to rediscover the life  
Merging with the chastity of earth and sky 
And enjoying virginity of the divine
In the life’s second bloom
