There Flow the Lines of Emotions!
The growing womb with pleasing
Movements of the life inside
The dreaming mother caresses the abdomen
Broods deep in the castles of tomorrow
There flow the lines of emotions
The nascent sibling with chubby-cheeks,
Smiles, laughs, weeps-vanishing the worries,
While the mother cradles the 'new-born'
There flow the lines of emotions
Crawling, hopping, stumbling
Even the sleepless yawns of the mother
Soothing lullabies to the lap-lay kid,
There flow the lines of emotions
The chattering child enters the school
Enjoys the 'new-home' with rhymes reciting
Singing songs in group, in plays and games,
Dancing day full dodging the ball,
There flow the lines of emotions
The sprouting desire, meeting eyes
Building the 'heaven of illusion',
They start dreaming-sitting-together,
Hanging hearts beat the rhythms of emotions!
As the years roll down
As they attain adulthood
'Mantras' flow to tie them together
And to be a couple life longer
Where tears flow down while parting parents
There flow the lines of emotions
Years pass by, all grow old
Bed ridden life, whooping
Struggling with pills, drugs and doctors
Care takers all around
They dig out good old memories,
Where flow the words of emotions
Everything should come to an end
So the life to superannuate
When the body burns to ashes
'The rest' go on their lines of emotions!
