Like Distant Relatives Poem by Indira Renganathan
Like Distant Relatives
Our beginning days
Were sweetly close and thick..
I used to feel the heavenly nectar
Lingering on my lips for long hours
But earth started losing
The lustre of its soil
For sadly a poor cultivation..
Money became your criteria
And as tilling and manuring
Didn't help to restore the soil
I was forced to be the symbol
Of frugality.Family weighed too heavy
Yet withal
Life has to change someday some way..it did
Today you in the porch dozing..I in the bed slumping
Like two distant relatives...
Age....reminiscing about those nectareous days
An excellent poem! Change is the law of nature. I am different from what I was yesterday. Each passing day makes a difference. I sincerely appreciate the undeniable truth reflected in your poem, 'Life has to change someday some way'
Life is a rich tapestry that displays the tree of life in our memories.
That really hits home. Indeed, life has to change, but why this way? Such natural expression of a life stage, like listening to someone think instead of just reading words on paper.
