School Life...The only Life...

Today, as the end of school life draws near...
walking down memory lane...
a glimpse of the bygone days...
as the past flickers by...
as moments turn to memories...
magical mesmerising mystical memories etched in my heart...
cherished forever...
daily dose of jugguja... :-p
water (and food!) fights... :-)
our reserved table in the library...B-)
the drum beats, the march past...
the Christmas bash...coloured hair...
santa caps...:-p

*sigh*

Standing on the threshold of life...
old spirits surround me...
comforting, familiar, encouraging,
sympathising, enlightening, ever present...

...As the past trails behind...
every red brick with a tale of its own...
each chime of the bell writing history...
Clinging to these very uniforms...
a journey from childhood to adolescence...
a mystery in itself...
As bits & pieces collected over the years are refreshed...
a collage of love & hate...
experiencing a bitter sweet contrast of pleasure and pain...

And yes there is a vast expanse...
with vistas unexplored...
Though there is beauty in age...
by comparison with the beauty of childhood it is nothing...
For many...this is merely 'school life'...
for me it is simply 'LIFE' :- )

The years spent here,
the tears, the smiles, the laughter...
I'll breathe their presence...
...ever after
Good ol' school days...
*sob sob* :-(
