An old man dwells sadly on memories of his life.

Kaleidoscopic memories of past,

Relationships that promised to last,

But then, drowned in oceans vast..

Nostalgia in an imagined show cast! 

That strength to move mountains,

The spirit, which was never to be drained, 

The anger at even the slightest pain,

All now, appears to have gone in vain.

Now the changing times are so confusing…

And the mind seems to be deserting….

Yet the heart enjoys the haunting

By visions, that are slowly blurring.

Free from all these unhappy mayhems,

My sweet love safely rests in heaven.

But alas! How lonely is my own haven!

Without her it is sadly so barren.

How I eagerly await death’s grace,

To enchant away my sad days….

And how ardently I might embrace,

The conclusion of this final phase.
