'LOST'.

I lost those things

That I know were there

But are not here:

Forever lost into the memory lane

An ant on muddy ground

with a kid chasing it around.

The space where games were played

And freedom little kids displayed-

Where are those lost places?

I lived in a fairy tale

where nothing mattered

and life wasn't battered;

Mornings were spent in mommy's lap

and afternoons in long naps-

Where is that age?

Every day was a big day

When the sun was an orange ball

and humpty had a great fall.

School was a temple and teacher a god

yet nothing existed- weird or odd

where are those days?

Since now I have really lost

Some years ago

I came to know

That I am losing everything precious

Simply becoming more mysterious

That I lost my best phase childhood.
