Aging

Into the warmth of day
Beams cradle in their arms
My heart with each ray
Cushioning thoughts, protecting from harms
Settle into lace and velvet
Dress divine with rich delight
Opening life’s heartless love set
Engagingly hooked on happiness’ height.
Into the cover of evening
Drenched in wise protective trial
Entrenched in objective reasoning
With the undercurrent of innocence’s smile
Molded into silver and beads
Act naïve with surprises call
Closing off the beatings true needs
Ravishingly gripped by youths stall.
Into the breath of the wind
Knowing grace defends with much care
Hidden meanings in the rolling sigh
Brushing away reality’s stare
Throwing back attacks of misery on I.
Engulfed in pureness’ sightless romance
Shielded from the turmoils in trusting beauty
Blinded to life’s real erratic dance
Childhood has mothered the true world from me
But now I open my cynical eyes.
