Restoration

A bundle of joy unwrapped,

With a promise of jubilation,

With unending hours of patience,

Those countless jabs of pain,

Vanishing to zilch,

At the instance of a beautific smile....

A wiggle of toes, a fluttering eyelid,

Grappling fingers, helpless cries,

Moments of joy fade past,

The corridors of a golden era,

Culminating in gloomy recesses,

At the threshold of death.....

An exciting journey, yet

A nerve wracking experience,

Endowing pleasures bountiful,

Yet, the celebration fades away,

Laughter recedes; nerves wrangle,

At the dawn of conflicts....

Ignorant, uninterested actions,

With denials and rebellions galore,

Innocence seeking out its identity,

Refusing meek obedience,

Branching out with fervour,

At the prospect of power....

A journey into self discovery,

An unraveling of complexities,

An ardent introspection ,

Of kinship and kindness,

Of merits abound in nature,

At the disposal of those deserving....

Exhausted eyes and being,

Seeking retribution wander,

Ricocheting off unseen walls,

Bounce back to waiting laps,

That cushion hurt souls,

At moments of realization...

A beautiful journey of love,

Begins, pauses and resumes,

Offering myriad experiences,

To the mother and the offspring,

A pair of mirror images that share,

A unique bond that surpasses all,

At every juncture of life.....
