Musical chairs


Musical chairs

Has music for the chairs,

And the ears.

No music for the heart,

Nor for the soul.

As I go round and round,

In search of a chair,

Keeping my ears cocked

For the music to start,

And to stop,

And people and chairs

Get flung away

As extracts,

In a centrifugal machine.

I reach the top of the pyramid.

Meanwhile the droning music

Has stopped,

Forever,

My heart and soul

Has been bruised,

Forever.

At my age, almost at the end of my journey, I also feel like one of those chairs being flung away when the music 🎶 is paused and restarted.
I have no control over my fate at that stage

Nicely penned Ashish... But you still have many more chairs to be flung around as yet.
