This Life Of Mine

Under sky, in simmering darkness, Silence reigns thick around my place; Come out I into the streets, for a walk, Whenever, I find my time runs into a mess. People walk down, hand in hand, Or, just alone immersed in thoughts, They often throw glances at me, and smile, As I give breaks to my leisurely trots; I move ahead; I do not count my steps, And find a place where nobody is there; I lie upon the soft grasses and close eyes, Over my head shines a lonely star. Like to remain sprawled here for long, Away from din and bustle of the town; No more wealth and comfort I seek, A life of peace and tranquillity I do mourn. To fulfil needs of many a soul, From the break of dawn to late night; I have work in dingy cells to earn, And have to live a life in constant fright A shade of brown grows thick on head, Till date I do not have time to know; Perhaps the moment is approaching, When it will check for ever my life's flow; Wish I could remain as moving and shining As a star, mapping the sky over my head; I know my wish is just a rainbow in the sun, Someday, in a cold cell, my body will be laid.
