You know what?
I heard the same thing
the same echo in the bottom of the well.
I caught the same glimpse
of shadows playing tricks
at the mouth of the cave.
And i threw the same rock
but the mountain hit me back
on my own hard head.
What do i know?
I will stomp my feet again
at chances the wind blow me by.
Maybe in desperation
I will pull my hair
and go "ahh" at the love that i dream
and lost in the thick of time.
And the dust
that i will smear my face
because of another year
because of another lesson learned.
I just know
that one day, yes - one day
i will grow up.
So evocative of youth, freedom, all possibilities still ahead, I love this, above all I love the hint of Hope
ReplyDeleteOh the thought!

Good one, BJE :)
ReplyDeleteBut that ending....What i have learnt is I will never grow up, even as I know, I hold the experience of a hundred year life...and good or bad, I think its better to have the child alive in you always! :)
learning -- goes on until one realises that you should unlearn to live a joyous life! :)
wishes,
