Do you remember as much’

As I do?

 

In the time of myth

How we used to bask

Under the bright moon

 

The memory of childhoodness

Still fresh like yesterday…

 

Sadly!

The flourish Culture of yesteryear

Has faded anoon

 

Oh! then-

Under a pregnant Kola Tree

Sweet tales were told-by aged tongues

Whilst the young ears calm and listen

 

I remember the Pluto scenes

Under a generous moon-light

Back-when gods were still gods..!!

 

Yes! Then;

We circled round the Jupiter

The stars admires us

As we gather clothe-less in tranquil numbers

Hands across pure shoulders

Toes abridge each other

Like peers of same mother

And together we sing in lullaby!

 

Sadly the flourish culture of yester years has faded anoon!

    That picture…first time I saw it a couple of years back it freaked me out. But now…relating it to this poem…it makes most of the sense in the world.

    Nice.

    Some of the imagery went over my head, like the Pluto scene? But overall, it’s OK.
