Echo from the Past!🌳

My Timeless Pal

 I  sat on your shoulder, 

While I was younger, 

Gazing at the  dusky,dusty street,

Beautiful, distant horizon, where orange and blue meet, 

Toddlers and calves that grew together, 

Turned into cattle and children playing in pleasant weather.

Soothing silence, fragmented by chirps of feathered friends, 

Who return to you after the day's end. 

At night, I used to hear the crowd, singing in tune, 

As I sat everyday, from noon till the moon.

Today,as,I have travelled farther in time with you, 

I see feelings still same but not the view. 

The streets have grown into roads , that speak, 

Of timeless chaos and sorrows of the weak, 

Horizon,even today, is painted blue and orange ,

However,it doesn't seem beautiful anymore, Strange!! 

The Children and Cattle both have turned wild,

Those alive are dead as well ,having lost their innocent smiles.

The sweet evening tunes, have turned into bitter mourning songs, 

Now, seeing corpses around me,  I'm just pretending to be strong. 

Yet, even today,when,I sit on your shoulder, 

And hug your boughs,tight,

Your leaves console me and I feel warmer.
