Missing Pages Poem by Amar Agarwala

Missing Pages

Rating: 5.0


They now live in yellowed pages
Reminiscences of my past,
Trapped in a spell of sorcery
Slipping sands of time have cast;

If some bout of magic would bring
Yesters that now stand aloof,
Would get to live a second time
My musings etched are a proof;

I know life will never accord
A sojourn into the old,
Hence, my musings now lie buried
In a crypt of beaten gold.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
TURNING FIFTY

As I grow older, I realize that I have now more years to look back upon than what I can look forward to. Memories fill up the coffers of my mind... they overflow too at times. I often look back and try to relive the days gone by, some of them wonderful, but life will not allow more than a cursory sojourn. I need stay happy with it, knowing that the past has been buried in a crypt of gold... its treasures consigned to the heaven's until eternity.
