As you are now so once were we

We are all surrounded by a particular bunch of people who care about us more than anyone possibly can . Family, relatives, teachers, oldsters and several nameless faces. One thing that they  constantly  try is to relate and connect to you and your alleged naïve life. They constantly feed you with their own specialized and exclusive opinions. As they are physically and intellectually beyond you sometimes things may go little awry. They cite examples, narratives, stories and target you with rich and varied armada of  experience they have gathered in time gone by. There's nothing wrong in it... I think it's the best thing that can happen to a person. But this road of mutual sharing and understanding  is very tricky in nature and  full of twists, turns and bumps and pits.. There are times when we find ourselves in opposite camps.

"Family's incessant love and likeness has often a deep sadness in it. Nature, that great tragic dramatist, knits us together by bone and muscle, and divides us by the subtler web of our brains; blends yearning and repulsion; and ties us by our heart-strings to the beings that jar us at every movement."

~George Eliot

You speak and listen

about everything, everyday

incessant loops of rebukes

approvals, we try and connect

in all possible ways

we never say or talk about

the slight diversion

in your version and mine

that palpable variance

which breathes along semantics

and deductions we apply

adduce evidences we witness

but compensate for in due time

like those barely visible

overlapped layers of rainbows

your persuasion runs over mine

leavings its imprints

somewhere along the fringes

but transmuting in to mine

times may arise

when we stand across

I might do something you oppose

methods might differ

so are some choices I may make

you schooled me well

made me a cultured youth

there are nibbles of you

in every step I take

You ain't wrong, neither am I

issues we jiggle and pry

you say,

you are now once were we                                                  

I say, just for a change

don't think much and don't worry.
