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!

  10. 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.
