REFLECTIONS

Staring into my eyes reflected in a pond with fishes so fishy

With stresses and frustrations drenching me

Searching for an answer deep inside the glassy water

Memories of childhood came swirling to me

I recall my childhood carefree and young

Full of life and full of fun

Running and playing as the day passed by

Warm beneath the blazing sun

Life was simple to this bold little child

The small world in his hands

Conquering challenges ,it was simple

With a child’s heart walking the lands

I stare at the reflection with the pond looking back

The eyes so tired on me

Where is that child my eyes don’t reveal?

The pond has no answer you see

This child’s in our heart pumping life into us

Creating the answers we ask why

For that precious child I must seek no more

For that precious child is still I

I wrote this poem a few weeks ago while returning from indore. this is my first poem like a real poem and though this poem doesnt reflect the real me, Its about how to go about ur problems in your day to day life. I would want to accept that the basic idea of 'solving ur problem like a child' was from an article i had read previously , i got inspired by it and wanted to pen down the idea like a poem. so the actual poem is my own creation. write ur comments as well...
