Telling A Tale Of Centuries Poem by Ishara Parveen

Telling A Tale Of Centuries

Rating: 5.0


Deep lay the fountain of secrets
buried at the heart
of a withered old tree
sighing in its old age
recollects the dead memories
one would be fond of-
happy endings of many
who stood at its shade
blissfully unaware of the future
that awaited them.
Noisy youngsters
who felt like they
owned the world,
who lately came to
the realization
that the world is not as they claimed to be.
Cute little ones,
grew past their innocence
becoming figures of the world...
At old age,
they reminisced
of the tree
that witnessed their arrival
on a day of happy years...
