When we were Eight!

Poetry Prompt: Life is Absurd; Have a little Fun!

Turning back time,
To the days of laughter,
To the days of innocence,
To the days —
When we were eight.
Resigning from worries,
Forgetting the regrets,
Starting afresh,
like we did —
When we were eight.
Let’s relive once,
The life of absurd games,
The life of insipid wisdom,
The life we possessed —
When we were eight.

~Afrah Khan

Life is always absurd, so it’s okay to have a little fun. To have a little fun without any worries, without any judgement from the world. To steal some time just for your self.
