Regret of a genius

From cradle to manhood he grew fast
Childhood he skipped and knew it not
Books and knowledge was all he sought
A genius he became to the envy of all

Position and laurels, high and coveted
Friends and admirers, countless hundreds
What else he could have asked for
Dream come true, he got all he sought

Things didn't remain , as it was thought
Newness took over, past redundant to discard
Hanging  around unsought was never in his thoughts
He shall begin anew, but worthless appeared all

Regret he had that he didn't listen to his heart
And missed the childhood over which he trod
Unfulfilled desires tormented and nagged him a lot
The things of the world gave him no pleasure at all

Child he would  become and keep worries apart
And in full abandon he would live and laugh
Why take things so seriously, he resolved
Reality is unfathomable, and life a cosmic dance!
