Poem : lets weave the story long forgotten

Let’s weave the story long forgotten

Once upon a time, 

on planet earth 

lived a story of joy and delight 

The story was one 

made from pieces of our life 

a bit  of you 

a bit of me 

A story which resonated 

For all felt it was theirs 

A roller coaster ride 

In the journey of life 
Of Things to do 
Chores to finish 
Dreams to achieve 
Pausing for a moment 
And the beauty of life - assimilating 

A story which went like this

Life was indeed bliss 

Painted roofs on mountains or plains 

Amidst the grey cloud, streaking sun rays 

Terraced lawns or ones own garden 

Beds of flowers where butterflies flew
Honeybees throned and colours grew 

Empty canvas 
Strokes of nature 
Birds leaving behind some feathers 
A collection for some 
A trail for many 

Trees standing tall 
Sturdy in its root 
Giving a shade 
And a swing too 

Squirrels running around 
Dried leaves fallen on the ground 
Parrots telling a tale or two 
Open roads and skies so blue 

Heartbeats and laughter 

Of mother, father, son and daughter 

Snowfalls and sunrays 

Together seeing through, many stormy days 

Under the skies we lay 

Seeing the story of the universe play 

Dancing clouds we see 

The sky seems well in our reach 

Magic being woven 

By us and our two hands 

It’s equal to the fairy gods wand 

Shooting stars and meteors 

Pink/super moon and the lit up sky 

Reading books on a hammock 

Fictitious character making you think 

It’s indeed a journey of a lifetime 

Along the road one travelled 

Hope in the heart 

Love in the soul 

Not knowing - ahead, what lies in store 

Assimilating the moments and the joy it brings 

Thoughts crossing one’s own mind 

Doubts and fears wandering away 

Things, you let pass by 

It’s a brand new day 

A day of joy and delight 

Soaking in the moment 

Pausing and resetting 

Conversations that run deep

As seconds trickle by 

And joy in the heart seeps 

The heart once troubled 

Is lighter and free 
Just for now, let this chapter not end 

Just for now, let’s just be. 

As we are, in our own unique identify 

And then you wonder 

What happens in the story now 

Will this be the one 

That ends in happily ever after
