Memory Lane

My memory lane, a golden field
Dry and dusty the golden leaves
Beckon to me as I slowly stride
'Oh! You have been away for quite a while.'

Long ago when I tread on them,
Full of grace, the field was green
The fruitful foliage that sung of spring,
Were as robust as I had been.

But as I grew busier, I found
The woods grieved with no one around.
The blooms did shrivel, the thorns slyly smiled,
Without the walker, the lonely walk sadly sighed.

Not in dreams, nor in day
Could I enter my memory way.
The flowers withered, fell the leaves
In them, captured my memories.

Tired from working all day long,
Free from hardships, fret and pain.
As an activity now I prefer,
To stroll down the whispering lane.
