"Of Nostalgic 10 Years"

Of Nostalgic 10 Years…
4 April 2007

Four corners of a room with a busy feel
Reminders of triumph of 10 years
Colorful, beautiful and comforting
Wonderful moments frozen by such keepsakes
Mementos smiling back from wooden and steel frames
Of loved ones from the past and the present
However cheerful it should feel
These things just stare
Without a voice, or warmth or scent
Good ‘Ol Silence becoming a gloomy company.
10 years it has been
Of days of struggling and just living
The chosen path endured and achieved
A long way from the innocence departed
And in a waking chance you realize
Important parts of life is put to sacrifice
Wondering where they have gone
Or rather not choosing over them was worthwhile
The value of thy self transformed
In an identity unrecognized
10 years past.
Now being mindful of the precious things
Where shall it lead? 10 years forward...
