Her Epoch

Beyond the times of struggle, I grew up In blazing pursuit of success I sometimes lost myself In depths of someone's envy In closed limpid walls of mirror Surrounded by many people I perceived the very significance of life They were what you call friends but they never linger long in your life Then, it dawned upon me They were but mere fancies of life Ached my heart with the sudden revelation For memories that were embossed within me My life_ a tale. a saga it became Some dreams abandoned Some achieved I walked the crooked path and stumbled across Fell and dusted the redundant Then came a man,his presence strange Added color to my blank canvas I care so he cared His likes became my likes Things I liked were left forgotten Dawn till dusk I remain reserved As wife, as mother, as an ideal woman Wiped the mirror clean to see myself Faint smile crossed my lips My lovely hair left uncombed Years passed, children grew My lovely hair glistened grey Wrinkled face and an abrupt smile Age long as the Nile The departing time finally came Every soul's end is same You can never escape the inevitable Darkness enveloped my weak eyes Time certainly flies!
