Dreaded Destination
Progression of life,
In an irreversible fashion,
Joyous ride,
Dreaded destination.
Unperturbed façade,
Calmness of demeanor,
Always unruffled,
To the undiscerning observer
A dormant volcano,
Not yet extinct,
Sense of impending disaster,
Unresolved yet distinct.
Peaks never scaled,
Depths unplumbed,
Life lived on a plateau,
Senses apparently numbed.
Appearances deceive,
Ostensible plateau,
Calm before the storm,
Heated lava below
The dread justified,
Release inevitable,
Deconstruction will follow,
Its magnitude unfathomable!

Tracked it down finally! And truly, I WAS missing something! Great writing, girl!
Amazing stuff Pragya! This one's bubbling and not just with lava. Why didn't you write poetry often enough - you seem to have a storehouse.
