Life is a day, a page;
Every morrow, an unwritten
page;
I turn a page a day of my
life,
Only to see hopes striving
for life.
Like the leaves of a tree,
Pages drop afloor my mind,
And decay, and on the rot,
Fall fresh ones, with dead
hope.
The next page of my life,
I'm unable to leaf through,
For it hides behind
A camouflage of new hopes.
I browsed through the rotten
pages,
And nothing could I see,
Except remains of dead hopes,
Immoral children of unending
desires!
Yet in the wilderness of
solitude,
I see a flicker of light,
At the fag end of everyday,
Of a living hope of tomorrow.
Eager to turn the next leaf
of morrow -
Morrow, the harbinger of
hopes,
I wish myself sweet dreams,
Every night ere I go to sleep.
- S K Iyer
