Stuttering to work 

Shivering to shovel 

Shaking the leg 

Fearing to travel 

Confined in rest 

and Put to a test 

Challenged by times 

To pause for the best 

Playing since forever 

Since show must go on 

A pause has come unknowingly 

Will the old ways be torn ? 

Smeared in delusion 

Acquainted with rumours 

Scared inside shells 

Finally pausing the turtles 

World is on a holiday 

The doctors are in play 

Security force has stayed on 

For us to pause and stay 

Hold back your horses

Monitor your act 

this pause today is better 

Unspoken words have eyes to tell 

Stories of the old 

Silence speaks louder than words 

When there are lies to be told 

Timid but firm 

Truth holds the ground 

Silence speaks the mind 

Conveys all around 

Insecure and Frightened

Mind wanders away 

Visiting the alleys 

The smell of the soil 

The old school gates 

Faces of the repressed memories 

The same old baits

Circling around the time 

into the memory lane 

Smiling as if all was better 

and now its too late 

Songs of nostalgia 

Hymn in the mind 

Never know when they start
