Peering over the shoulder
certain sadness does ensue
How rapidly does time lapse
move on without any clue
Wonder all carefree epochs
where along got mislaid
What reflects in the mirror
is of what you were so afraid
Got embroiled in trivialities
in attempt to somewhat attain
Fighting all diverse oddities
for the subsistence to sustain
Affiliations picked enroute
few stayed and lot didn't last
Few facets were as expected,
most others were in contrast
Images of all known earlier
on meeting again get belied
As ravages of the time-lapse
have metamorphosis applied
Enfolded within each heart
an interminable child exists
One with immature nuances
where impish streak persists
Whatever appears outwardly
inside old self remains clung
The body may though wither
but soul remains forever young
