This is a reflective poem about rediscovering purpose and passion after retirement. It urges one to embrace life’s beauty, chase unfinished dreams, and break free from silence.
Through heartfelt verses, it inspires resilience and a renewed zest for life.

Breaking Your Silence

Why do you sit in silence so deep,
No questions to ask, no promises to keep?
Once, my anger would spark a storm,
Now, you watch with a heart so warm.

True, retirement brings an empty space,
Yet dreams still wait—why not embrace?
So many goals remain incomplete,
Why not rise and refuse defeat?

Yes, the body grows weak with time,
But passion still burns—let it shine!
Vijay, life is beautiful, can’t you see?
Feel its rhythm, set your spirit free.

Why so silent, lost in the night?
Ask the questions—embrace the light!
(Vijay Verma)
