From Triumph to Shadows
A consummate professional, a dreamy life
Tiptoeing towards success, one step at a time
People disorient while he strides with aplomb
Passion, grit and talent, tick. Ok what next?
Relish the bloom till it lasts, they say
‘Cause life’s tapestry weaves darkness too
While passion quickly turned to obsession
The talent no longer appealed
What accentuated him is now a hazard
In no time, adornments are now a façade
He now remembers that modest upbringing
Where simple joys bloomed in life’s tender care
When innocence made life significant
Guided by values across shifting sand
Take me back, he yearns
To modest upbringings that mold me for more
And then the voice from within cracked him up
“I am an ever flowing river, I am time”
