The moon has quietly come out,
With all its mesmerizing glee.
Now, I should go back home,
Mom has been waiting for me.
I've long been away from home,
May well be a decade and a half;
I left my home in a dull morning,
Dad’s face too showed a morose laugh.
I walked long pebbled paths;
Stumbled but tried to stand tall,
Each time I fell miserably,
Heart-broken, I thought I’d pall.
I rode on the tiger’s back,
Jumped against the hardest of rocks,
I felt being damn drained out,
Soul was wounded with pocks.
Love and warmth kept me going,
Self-esteem nurtured me well,
I saw off many a foul phase,
Powerfully forged out of hell.
Rays of hope visit time and again,
Adding much to happiness and peace;
Imagination impregnates dreams,
Seminal thoughts strike at ease…..
I have grown , as I thought I would,
Both in stature as well as in heart;
I ‘m now a Man in true sense,
Inseparable mannerisms apart.
Bygone days flash in my mind,
Tears of joy come down my eyes.
I am running awayto my home,
Where my infancy still lies.
I have seen the world from close,
Have mastered a trick or two,
Have met coloured pigeons a lot
And springtime cuckoos too.
Nothing more I wish to see,
In this heartless, rude globe;
Wounds of my soul need to heal,
With maternal care and love.
good...
