I stand here quite lonely and deserted. The glory that encompassed me has now faded away. I live like have never lived before, in sadness and in drought. The days from my past haunt me. The happy days are now a distant dream and life is never the same again. I wonder what happened to all the happiness. What happened to all that innocence? And where are my children? The children who have grown in me?
Earlier things were different. My children loved me and craved to come to me in search of peace and love. They would gather in herds and fill my corridors with laughter and noise, with giggles and frowns. They came to me as children and I saw them grow into men and women of honor. They learnt the first lessons of life in me.
I thought them what is love, friendship, conscience, sacrifice, family, differences, and conflicts and in general what is life. I saw them mature into learned blossoms that will color the world with its unimaginable shimmer. I saw them cry in my dark corners feeling the pain from unexpected trials of life. They came to me in sickness and they came to me in joy.
Life has absorbed all of them into its uncanny fangs. They are now the children of life and don’t have time for me. They think of me with a smile but never with a longing that was in them as a child. They miss me but do nothing to have my love.
I stand here now in ruins and pain, that my children are no longer mine. The memory of the colorful past haunts me now. The noise and cries of joy now echo in my silence. The light and glitters of happiness now hide in my shadows.
I am alone and silent in the memoirs of my past
Well is it not life itself that I am speaking of?
I am your destiny oh happy man
When time precedes and you have gone too far
You are lonely like I am. .. . Lonely like I am!
