the old road


The old road
Of mud and stones
The childhood memories
The potholes when it rains

The footprints of the young
Walking miles to another village
Climbing slope feeling the air
The old road in my mind

Sometimes the old road
The long bumpy rides on the bicycle
Avoiding the muddy potholes and splashes
It is the footprints of the young

Nothing hardly stays
In times the old road is tarred
The long stretch of road
The dark colour in the eyes

It is called development
In time the villages too are gone
Displace, bring down with high rise buildings
And the cool weather slowly disappears
