The second bloom

The second bloom Life is an eternal ecstasy Flowering as ripe old age Liabilities over, shorn of shackles Confined to oneself and free to peep into Fads and foibles lying dormant for decades The wisdom at its best, with the strings few Leaves, petals, breeze, dawn, dusk and dew As adorable companions offering divine notes To the melody of heart, mood and passions Echoing as penance, serenity and joy With love, compassion and forgiveness All in one The hidden hues come to the fore With unknown treasure on the fingertips Making million times richer and able Turning thoughts in to wings, ready to fly To reach the stars, moon and the clouds The exciting new self, hitherto unknown Opening days as an era of joy and thrill Planning solo journey to new destinations It is time to rediscover the life Merging with the chastity of earth and sky And enjoying virginity of the divine In the life’s second bloom
