The impressions of ephemeral youth

Into the final three months of college,the feeling is eventually coming down heavily that one descends into the world when one no longer finds friends but only "colleagues"...wen relationships are hard to come by and wat are left are only "contacts"...yet these golden memories from the alleys of hallowed portals of college life are always there to "attenuate" my pain (m in fianl yr "engineering") as THE IMRESSIONS OF EPHEMERAL YOUTH ARE HERE TO STAY....

The Impressions of Ephemeral Youth

Times r shared, the moments r few
In an attempt to hold the evanescent dew
Grains of time shall slip away
The impressions of ephemeral youth r here to stay.

In a cobweb of emotions dreams r spun
Time a metaphor,life a pun
Whirlpool within yet placid waters outside flow
and the gust of ever changing resolutions woudnt stop to blow.
Mind n heart shall b in eternal fray
Coz,
The impressions of ephemeral youth r here to stay.

O’er the walls of prejudice heart tries to peep
Promises made to itself it tries to keep
Annealing the frangible ideologies within
Shaping the persona calm n serene
The orders of time it shall obey
The impressions of ephemeral youth r here to stay.

With a sparkle of glint of eyes of a new born
Holding the pristine beauty of icecaps on the hilltops there
As firm as a tiny bush waging its own war in a storm
As benign as a morning prayer.
With ambitions to b realized come what may
The impressions of ephemeral youth r here to stay...

Wow! A poetess prodigy!! :)
Well.. I was doing some arbit googling, when I accidentally *stepped* on your rediff blog and after getting re-directed here, *tripped* over this magnificnet poem! :)
If you've heard of David Gilmour (Pink Floyd's lead guitarist & one of the finest ones, in that coterie), your verse appeared to me very-much-something like his lyrics do (needless to say at this point that I'm an ardent fan of DG. :-D).
So that sums up the why/how/what/who part, I believe! :D

Oops! In the last post, anonymous=me, in case it wasn't obvious. :P
