After Retirement
I have crossed sixty;
Attention is failing.
With bright lights fading off slowly,
I felt unwanted.
Snake of thought-poetry
Moving through brain-thickets
Wonders - power and position
Were then reasons for people
Listening to me?
Now I have joined private sector
I rejuvenate in my new job
Among young professionals
Offering consultancy on infrastructure.
Mixing work with recreation,
Today my team played cricket
In Wadala East, and won two rounds,
To reach the semi-finals,
I got bouquet of flowers,
Making me happy.
Different lights
Are twinkling
From setting sky.
