That lane outside my paradise, was chirpping with the sounds of innocence, There was not a lonely hand, Someone was there to make the sad ones laugh, To keep company to those who were alone. The doors were open and windows beamed with the light of security. There were lies and pranks, but no harm caused, All were friends, who had the time cheat and betray, Always busy to finish what teacher had asked and ready to take over the world with  the bunch of friends. I never had the phone because a shout was enough to summon the entire group out. Who had known the sun will be the same but it would cause a tan when we grow up, Who knew despite having the technology in hand, It will take years to call the best friend. It wasn't easy then, it isn't easy now But the spirit to get across is faded and weak.

Looking for some sunshine I stepped out in the glory of nature. Simple and pristine such a joy to be part of immense beauty. The breeze was cold and I felt it brush against my weary existence I closed my eyes and opened them To find myself in the expanse so green and fresh I could smell the greens and hear my heartbeat I could hear the mighty trees rustle and sing with the wind Alone yet accompanied Hearing the birds chirp and flutter their wings Behind me were innocent voices laughing and smiling The metal of the swings clinking The footsteps were so carefree I was living in the world of dreams Ma I missed you, There was my sunshine smiling bright.

I knew you were mine, Taking each step towards you brought me closer to myself Invigorating morning dew was cold, I remember, Still as new as the gleaming moon that was bright as never before. Seemed nothing will ever be so immaculate. The touch of a bud is a promise of birth, A rainbow in every nook. The heat from the fire ball, Mighty and fierce, yet a lifeline. The weary soul dances to the tunes of gurgling and splashing waters. Breeze so tender, is a panacea for my wounds. Brutal yet kind Constant yet changing Departs yet comes back. None can take away my sorrows and my happiness is mine too. I knew you too were mine.
