** The Poet's Soul

Rating: 5.0


A POET’S SOUL

As the present gradually gets consumed by
the past,
And the future burns in the altar of the
present, -
What ultimately remains are the crystal
dew drops, -
Of our evanescent moments!
And as we slowly drown ourselves, -
Inside the unknown depths of the mirror’s
surface,
Which one day shall forget to reflect our
face!
But the poet’s soul remains oblivious, -
Of our life’s eternal stance!
And at an advanced age, he continues to
write his verse!
And you can also find him in his garden,
Planting young saplings of new plants!

Wisdom in a poem. Thankfully the gift is enduring and will outlive the poet. Beautiful.
