Life, As It Is …… Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

Seed of an imaginary castle
Sky high, vast in length and breadth
Overwhelming intricacies
Worldwide fame
Divine utility
Was planted at a corner
In my prestigious garden

Watered, as and when needed
Protected against woes
Watched day in day out
With ballooned up eagerness

Seed sprouted clandestinely
and emerged out openly
as a tiny seedling
exposed to sun moon rain wind etc

One day I woke up
To observe a celebrity
Severed it down at crown
Somebody close enough
fled from me momentarily
Lest witness anguish in me
