Autumn Era of our Lives!

July is about to start..my birth month..although I came into this world at the farthest end on the second last day but I always look forward to it with a lot of enthusiasm and expectations and big dreams to celebrate my day with all the fanfare and pleasant surprises and wishful dreams but alas when the actual day draws near I some how always start to fade and draw inward into a cocooned shell and mope on another year of my youth gone by..the ending of a curtain era about to start...glorious days of my youth fresh in my mind..imprinted like old dry leaves in a book keep bobbing up like those autumn red trees that shed trees but never spread their fragrance afar. Some how I have always loved the Autumn season..its bright red and orange and maroon and yellow hues have always attracted me more than the usual pinks and purples and greens of spring nor have i gone for the dreariness of winter white and blues and blacks..yes its always been the contrasting hues of autumn ..no fragrance, no freshness just the colour and vibrancy of a bygone era. Strange..is'nt it! But I am a strange soul..searching and dreaming and yearning to be heard..like that black cuckoo bird that hides in a tree and calls beautifully...all that one hears is a lovely song ..mysteriously enshrouded in the cloak of dark leaves..she leaves an impression upon our minds that a sweet voice came and held us captive for a while..till the time we found her hiding place she vanished in the wilderness of the skies!!!
