I used to write songs of nature
coated with thoughts of bright future
I used to write these poems
that everybody loved
they had butterflies, waterfalls,
and tall green grass
with lots of sunshine
and even when there was rain,
there was always the rainbow
and the light pouring through

it all seemed so sweet
so good, so nice,
the world was so beautiful
as beautiful as you
and each walk of life
seemed so pretty,
hand-in-hand,
foot by foot,
in synchronised steps
with my jeans gripping yours
close and tight

it was all so colourful
like million shades of crimson
in ever promising sunsets
and it was all so soothing,
like breeze on seashores
salted to the right taste

everything seemed perfect
then in the beautiful past

and when I saw you yesterday,
all I could think was
you are so beautiful to me
the same as always

only the world has evolved
at a different pace
leaving me behind,
wearing faded jeans

wow...

I had a visual of splashing color, with a man in shades of blue/gray...

I liked the slow description of loss of innocence/realization/crimson jade.

*hearthugs in understanding*

well done, m'friend.

A wonderful twist of thought, and a powerful visual image to draw this to the conclusion Sudhir ... very much enjoyed!

Best wishes,

I enjoyed this read. It went from the deep of color to a simple thought. And it made the transition so gently. Lovely!
