Almost lost..not in a day or two

But a life time at times...

Cajoled, threatened and stumbling,

Life begins again-

Renews and then lapses again,

In search of a flutter,

A twist and an edge at times,

Looking back-

How did the stains get wi ---der, broader, and deeper?

Now there's no looking back into the realms of sanity

Once mad always a Hatter!

Nothing lost, yet the bleed remains

No one cries..yet smiles refrain
