The Transitory World--By Dr. T. Ashok Chakravarthy--India

The Transitory World

The childhood days, vanish in no time

The fondling love and school days wane;

People and unfolding world look so fine

Surging age finds no time to recline.

When adolescence knocks the door of heart

The colorful and alluring thoughts fly out,

Thirsting for love, desires flock out of blue

Life looks sailing smooth, without future clue.

Unaware, while the fleeting age advances

And reality slowly unfolds life’s fragrances,

Realization seems very doubtful and difficult,

And the element of morality slips out of sight.

Old age, when befalls on trembling life

The transitory world looks ‘a lake of grief’

Frightful, true colors of life unfold to sight

Life fizzles out, betwixt the fading light.
