Here is how I felt around 10 years ago.....
Then I was a star
Twinkling up so high
Shimmering and glowing.....
All acknowledged then
In a hushed silence..
The cricket croaked it too;
The moon encircled me
In her half embrace,
The silver light lit me up
To glow in supremacy....
But the sun came too soon,
Or did it go away?
That I so suddenly
Fell onto the ground.
Though fall I did
I landed up nowhere....
Then I was a bud
So tightly closed up,
The bee encircled me
And buzzed to me to open...
And keen nights followed
The eagerly tired days
To coax me out of my shell.
I had no halo
Of my own around,
As borrowed light burnt me
And pierced in a bit too deep....
Then I was a memory
Kept aglow and bright
Or stabbed with the ashes?
The breeze encircled me
And with it took me away.....
Then I was a star
Twinkling up so high
Shimmering and glowing.....
All acknowledged then
In a hushed silence..
The cricket croaked it too;
The moon encircled me
In her half embrace,
The silver light lit me up
To glow in supremacy....
But the sun came too soon,
Or did it go away?
That I so suddenly
Fell onto the ground.
Though fall I did
I landed up nowhere....
Then I was a bud
So tightly closed up,
The bee encircled me
And buzzed to me to open...
And keen nights followed
The eagerly tired days
To coax me out of my shell.
I had no halo
Of my own around,
As borrowed light burnt me
And pierced in a bit too deep....
Then I was a memory
Kept aglow and bright
Or stabbed with the ashes?
The breeze encircled me
And with it took me away.....
