ROLLING WHEELS
Ancestors depart, leaving no heirlooms to keep
Years flip by with all dreams stashed away
Sun sets casting dark shadows behind
Body weakens corroding vitality and drive
But mind, like a young girl, steams with longings!
CHANGE
A scarecrow smiles, an infant sneers
A lion bleats, a lamb growls
Thieves chase the police, peahens strut feathers n’ dance
In sync with the times,
Everything has changed!
First one is a beautiful thought about life not being stagnant and second ones brings a wide smile..
@ title: 3,4 numbers are what i did not get at, it might be the sequel of some 1,2 which i have missed reading perhaps...though the title is clear... @ the poem: the vision of the longing mind is experiencing something really different in the 2nd part CHANGE...! ! !
yes we have changed what the wheel was now modern wheel changing and changing nice write
Body weakens corroding vitality and drive But mind, like a young girl, steams with longings! ......so touching and true. And.... Thieves chase the police, peahens strut feathers n’ dance In sync with the times, Everything has changed! ...rightly said. Your poems Five Liners.3,4 (Rolling Wheels/ Change) are beautiful and impressive.
Wheel of time never stops like a long distant drive during which landscape is changing after every few miles. Thoughtful poems.
Wheels of Time roll by resulting in change of things.......Valsa.....flesh may be made weaker but spirit stays stronger........wonderful poetry
Time rolls resulting in change. Body weakens and mind is ever stronger. Change seems to be reversal of what we normally see. Beautifully rendered.
You are quite right Asadullah! I am so happy that you have rightly linked the two poems. Though they are independant poems, there is a link. As the wheels of Time roll by, change happens! Thanks!
