Midterm mood

The midterm mood has started to set in

I am beginning to see life in things again

Days, I had kept a count on my fingers tips,

Nights, I have been dreaming of my ever sweet home.

The countdown finally brings solace to my heart

The steps taken till here, I shall for once retrace

To see within a fortnight my sweet home again.

The shackles of the training shall be removed then,

albeit only for a month.

No early risings then, no classes of physical toils to make

No duplex transactions amongst friends to give and take;

No rush over the choice of boiled eggs to make;

No good and bad moods of friends to see.

I shall get to live the life I like to live,

a month in recess, I shall drink it to the lees.

My failing body will get some rest at last,

The frustration and the cynicism shall soon fade fast,

Though my down sized belly might its size regain

Though the stamina regained might be lost again

and back to the square I might have to bargain

Yet I shall still remain a happier man,

For home shall always a home remain.
