When My Age Withers Me Out........ Poem by lalitha iyer

I am reduced
to a grain of sand
lying in the Ocean land
I was up at the mountain
peaking-
speaking to the skies
the crowning glory
sparkling snow capped

at the height of vanity
I danced to the valleys
proud of my beauty
a mountain I was
now a sand grain
from stone to pebble
reduced on my rumble

now only a sand
but years have added
in me wisdom with kind
I understand
that my life is a mission
to discover
the link between
sand and skies.........
