It was unusually quiet
rainy day today
here in enfield
eldest left for work
younger one still sleeping
wife said happy birthday
she went upstairs to work ,
remote working that is
office is home, home is office,
It's this melancholy, I have
my father passed away
when he was 62 and I was 33.
I think he left too early,
it was very sad really
to leave that young
laving a young wife
wholly me, I am sixty
I don't feel old or young
I don't have much left
in my bucket list,
didn't have one anyway
just tavelling, enjoying in little things
that was more than enough
end of the day
It is close family and freinds
near us, what we should value
I do, and I know that
yet, it feels lonley at times
I stopped watching at stars at night
with my telescope,
loneliness hits me hard
when you think how far apart
the stars
perahps we all are lonely on this universe
if not social media, would it be even worse
taking it easy from now on
may be the best way forward
it's nothing, aboslutely nothing
in my mind
oh, rain stopped !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
