Poem-Everlasting

Everlasting
Irfan Rahman Sakib

Gone are the days of my youth

Lost they are, deep into the sea

That’s why, the sea, along with its waves,

Tide and sweet clamour turns beautiful to me

Gone is my golden days of childhood

Mixing with the air, the sky

The sky, today, is above me, so high

Lost is my golden infantry

Absorbed by the dry, withered leaves

Which have turned green, today

Those days escaped into darkness

And brought light in those days

I remain young, throughout life

For, I find my youth everywhere

So, I find it with me

As a sweet, wonderful memory
