Where am I ? - By Lakshmi Prasanna of B.Com First Year

They asked me where I was,
But I couldn’t answer,
Lost in admiring the bright sunrays,
Dancing on a maple leaf.
I felt lost, unsure of my way,
Until the yellow flowers on the footpath guided me,
Taking my pain away.
They say new beginnings come at the right time,
Yet I felt like an abandoned building,
Beside the flower shop,
Frozen in the tracks of my past,
Unable to embrace change,
Even, bouquets were carried away,
To mark new starts in others' lives.
Real life often slips by unnoticed,
As we spend our energy, trying to breathe.
The pigeons above, watch us,
Wondering how foolish we are,
Not to glance at the sky even once.
I realized then how life grows and moves relentlessly,
Like tree vines climbing glass buildings,
Ignoring the complexities it tangles itself with.
In front of me stood a white castle, rich with history,
While I stood there, heavy with misery.
At the traffic lights,
A small girl smiled, unknowingly,
And for a fleeting moment,
I longed to return willingly,
To the innocence of childhood.
