Then And Now

By Ravi Shankar - August 28, 2017

Then and now
A comparison too​ deep
Yet too​ shallow to speak
Then an unwritten page
White as snow
Now an incomplete book
Full of memories, mistakes and deeds
Dark as the thunder cloud
Rumbling and roaring
I soar, with the plains beneath

Then, hiding
Moms back my invisibility cloak
Or in the darkness of the cupboard i used to soak
Now, we hide in plain sight
With masks of laughter and smile
Isn't there just too much disguise?
Well i laugh at the this terrible surprise

Then, thinking
When will i grow up
I can roam, I can soar
Without questions thousans unknown
Have the time of my life
Now, was growing up really necessary
Didn't it happen too fast?
With a mind of 30 in a body of 20
Soaring a dream
Survival a reality

Thinking there's too much to say
Too less a time
Then and now is a mystery undefined
You know it all yet you know nothing
Its all how you journey through the knox
In this filthy paradox

Lets make it a memorable one
I know there is a dying sun
Lets make it burn, Lets try and soar
This darkened sky, with plains beneath
With nowhere to go but the empty heath
I will journey from then to now with my sword unsheathed.
