Analysis of Life goes by
Poorani. K 2008 (Hosur)
TR life goes by,
By wondering at the birds fly,
But I am interrupted by rocks,
And still there's a long way to walk
On the way I can see thorns,
Demons in dreams frighten me with horns, The road isn't smooth,
Occasional winds come to soothe
But the nights are really dark,
And dogs with sharp teeth bark,
After the dark nights there comes sun's rays,
And I silently sigh for the olden days
There's not a house in sight,
There's no torch for light,
But you are here to talk,
And there's still a long way to walk
