Irony Of The Silvery Years Poem by C. P. Sharma

Irony Of The Silvery Years



Love of life lies deep within,
Not in tinsel attire;
If silvery years didn’t learn,
On life it is a great satire.

It is the irony of the silvery years,
Still in the tinsel frame he gears;
Shakespeare made it very clear,
The lighted fools are yester years.

Tomorrow and tomorrow he wander in time-space,
Why truth of life he couldn’t trace?
Perhaps with himself he had no dialogue
He continues as his body’s frog.

Come out of this muddled pond,
With eternal-ocean have your bond.

*Thoughts stirred up by Yoonoos Peerbocus’s poem ‘Silvery Years’.

Preachings are in abundant.But who inetrospects, who thinks of realisation, revelation and all about the essentials in this helter-skelter world.Only the destined lucky persons do that.Even to differentiate good from evil the third eye should be opened by the Lord.That is destiny.If somebody says ' I've realised the truth of life' it means that they ' ve been destined to realise.And again destiny has time restraints.We become introspective, spiritual, philosophical e.t.c at different, dissimilar stages of our life as per our destiny.Nice response of writing.Thanks for sharing

If silvery years didn’t learn, On life it is a great satire True, yet, many are like dog's tail, never to mend despite their silvery years having passed away!

I enjoyed this poem, and I had just gone through Yoonoos' 'Silvery Years' so it was a fitting sequel. Thanks.
