An Old, Broken Bench

Left alone unwanted
In the garden’s corner
With rust-covered railings
And a few broken nails
Moist-laden old planks
Catering to termites
An old bench survives
Talking to the little buds

Drawing from distant past
Woven with halcyon days
The rickety old bench
Recounts many tales
Of the playful kids’ games
Young lovers’ smitten gazes
Lazy men’s lengthy sleeps, and
Aged ones’ reminiscent sighs!
