An Ode To "All Things Old". Poem by Mou Mukherjee Das

An Ode To "All Things Old".



Old are the leaves of a tree,
that wither away-
Old are the flowers,
that bloom for a day.

Old is my wife,
who once shared my life-
Old are my children,
with whom I have dreamt.

Old is my home,
that houses its memories-forlorn-
Old are my clothes,
that have grown loose.

I now feel at ease
with "all things old"
only my soul is young,
with all stories told.
