INTROSPECTION


Lingering shadows of the past hunts,
Staggering expectation life confront,
Upheaval and downfall visited, view,
Suffered and revived, existing a few. (1)

Resurrected the deadwood sprouts,
Baffles the miraculous efforts, fruits
Fame and fortune misnomer decide,
Fate and destiny prosperity preside, (2)

Felt acute pain sink in sorrows, sad,
Pleasures, comforts, luxury life, mad,
Disbelieve the paradigm change, life,
Happiness and peace, absent strife, (3)

Passed through testing years remind,
Fortunately, passed rarely, fate unkind
The sweet home family kids, ecstatic,
Fun and gossip, play music, hypnotic, (4)

The home is empty, lonely, silent,
Realize the meaning of life, essence,
Gold that glitters is a metal trap, sadly.
Lost property and gradually feel bad. (5)

Evoked emotions introspection stay,
Path of life image reflection display,
Morning dew reflects sunlight gems,
Disappear quickly, sight overwhelms. (6)

Conjugal life reminds us of the beginning,
Fag end of life, a couple dreaming,
Tidal wave of desire and actuated,
Waves touch their feet, fascinated, (7)

Life meant creative creation divine,
Introspection bears the vision fine,
The tie not a lie exists seven lives,
The past horrors survived, believe. (viii)
