As September 21 Knocks At My Door Once Again... Poem by M D Dinesh Nair
As September 21 Knocks At My Door Once Again...
I have to be very restless today
With one more birthday knocking at my doors
I know it`s my day to spin a smile
And I am to feast on the delicacies of the day!
Somebody shakes my hands
A few are to greet on phone
And many greetings fill the inbox of my mobile
That is how my younger past flees from me!
Reminder of the autumn ahead is omniscient as usual
Ensconced in your smiles and words
The spring of my youth cannot bounce back
I must`nt hold out my hands to the moon either.
Every cloud has a silver lining - I taught
But I foresee more clouds ransacking the skies
And the beleaguered Sun fighting his way.
I won`t re teach anything...
I want to grab the absolute
I think your torches too show some light
And I can tread for a few yards.
I am a shadow of many of you, aha!
I may once want to pack up and go
To meet the truth that you hold high
But what to pack up?
Where is the bus to eternity halting for me?
This birthday knocks at my door
And I open my door with a smile
This smile is my strength
This is my long lost mother`s gift!
A frail image splashes across my mind
It tries to write in the sky
HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY..
And I spin a smile once more.
First I must wish you many many happy returns came belated as a birthday greeting yet I request you with love to receive it without any reservation and pray God to bless you with a long life and eternal smiles that will inspire many a mortal life to live life useful, meaningful and ever charming.......Dineshji......a very well crafted piece on the occasion of birthday......thanks for sharing
With one more birthday, don't think that your younger past is fleeing from you! You are still young enough.....Feast on the delicacies of the day! Your long lost mother writes in the sky.... 'Happy returns of the day' and you can be once more her little son! Wish you a very very HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dinesh!

Sorry for wishing you too late. May God Bless you with long and healthier life! I agree with the beautiful comment from Valsa. One is never old as long as one never think from heart. Surely, your long lost mother's blessings are there with you. Let, every 21st Sep, you get knock of blessings from near and dear ones........God Bless!
