@swagata21, this is a beautifully evocative poem! The imagery of childhood memories juxtaposed against the realities of adult life is so relatable. I especially loved the lines about "a field, mud-caked feet, and the evening sun" and how even amidst the "masks of civilization," a scent of wet earth can bring us back. The longing for simpler times resonates deeply.
