Footprints

Mangroves danced,
Once so fluffily,
That air fragranced
My world around.

Lovely bird’s song,
Floated in this hazy sphere.
I was privileged,
To perceive that too.

I was full indeed,
That live was my ground,
With my sweet tots,
Where my happiness rebounds.

They groaned, they grown.
I did, what they said,
Even they did, what I yearned.
Life went so merrily!

Now the shift came,
“Fullness to empty”
They dashed free,
I am here with the dread.

Lot more to go,
Today no more soul-
-To keep me slow,
My quad kept spruced.
Sans footprints!

    It's sad when they grow and leave, but it marks a new beginning of sorts for you too. Nice poem, Kochuravi. :-)

    Fullness to empty - such a contrast to the first couple of stanzas. Loved the line "that air fragranced my world around." This poem progresses nicely.

    Thanks for sharing and for coming to read at my blog.
