Being A Senior Citizen- Poem by Savita Tyagi
Being A Senior Citizen-
I think I want to go back to basics,
With just enough energy for tactics
Needed for my everyday living, don't
Have time to dissect all my yearnings.
No more pondering on world problems.
The world existed before my little birth,
And is going to stay long after my sojourn.
Only heaven one creates is within oneself-
A saying worth millions,
Yet needs heck of a determination!
For me, no more dwelling on lofty concepts.
I marvel at life's simple wonders, am
At leisure to coalesce my emotions,
To watch the pendulum of my heart
Swing or be still to its own rhythm…..
I do want to keep my jovial urges
Ticking in every fiber of my being
Feeling His grace upon each breath,
That I am able to take.
I like my unhurried time to watch
Squirrels hop around yard,
My audience to the tiny bird's
Sweet song from green arbor.
Let me just pay my ritualistic
Homage to the rays of radiant sun,
Take a walk in the golden sunset,
Watch the silvery gleam of crescent moon
And be lost in the mystique of star studded sky.
I would never want to lose my smiles
To see and greet a friend's face or
Hide my excitement for a friendly voice.
To enjoy a beautiful poem or get lost in
It's ravishing thoughts and enchanting words.
Yes I want to go back to basics
Don't have time for intricate gambits!
