Mind #SoulfulSunday

a hint of restlessness settles,
longing for a yesterday
when worries were only about being young and naive.
my mind is unable to make up what it needs to do today
to free from the tumultuous affair, it’s dealing with!

there were joys and sorrows
in the days those are gone
but today all I remember is a trail of laughter
splashed in my memories
today all I long for is to go back to those days of fun

yet I succumb to the stronghold of the present and a million questions of the future
maybe, when I stop squirming under the weight of dreams and wishes
and the insane tracing of memories
perhaps then, I would live in the moment and build another castle anew
to fill those tomorrows with the laughter of today!
