Went to a tea shop
Mother admitted in a hospital
Femur bone fracture
Both next to each other

Studied in a college
Down this lane
Visited the same shop but
Dreams weren't the same

A boy in his teens
Wanting to achieve very high
No idea otherwise
If only i had been wise

Talking for hours
Friends on bikes
Leaning on them
Future the conversation

Twenty years thereafter
Many a zig zag turns later
Worked for a Television company
Surrounding similar Dreams changed

Outside the shop
Talking with friends on bikes
Shop the same
Bike and friends changed

Last stop i thought
The place to work for
Dreamt of a future
Yet to mature

Another twenty hence
Down the same lane
Entirely different reason
Outside the same shop same reason

Down the lane
College Work and Hospital lay
Down life's lane
Seems to be the same lane

Reflection has an advantage
There is no scope for disappointment
Looking back at the dreams
The place says where i have been

Dare i dream again
In my sleep not in my hands
Dreaming of an event happening
Voluntarily I wouldn't dream

Lane travelled the same
Distance covered miles and miles
Back to the lane took 20 years
Returning took another 20

Times have changed
This too shall pass
Heard it then
Say it now

Next trip here
I'm not sure
Sure I'm not sure
Greatest lesson learnt in all these years

Everything looks different
Unrecognisable the streets and buildings
Barely a soul in sight
All sold today for a price
