Sometimes I review notes of the latest story I am working on. As I sit there gnawing on the end of my pen, random new thoughts pass through my head and get cleared for take-off on their own connecting flights to oblivion. I scribble some quick notes as they lift off hoping the disjointed and haphazard nature of them may lead to a story. Mostly, though, I play games with the faces I see, and on the recent extended evening walk on the bridge (as discussed in my previous post shang-high-ness), that's all I ended up doing. Surge of nostalgic thoughts passed through my mind. Of the times I lived and laughed. Of all people I bade farewell to. Memory is a treasure valuable than gold and I know, all of you know that just right. Today, I share with you all something which is very personal and dear to me. Below is the poem that was written and sent to me about a year ago by a person who was and (still is) important to me. Though it might be meaningless to you all but it's one of the best gifts I've ever received... We lost touch eventually (because there was no other option, the way we saw it) but then again memories last a lifetime... this one certainly will!!
"poem through a grey sky
through thousands of miles
even through another life
you seized my mind...
a smile that never shivers
eyes burning in the inside
tanned skin
dark hair
this silhouette
deeply anchored in my mind
bringing a feeling of happiness in my soul
warming a hand frozen by this land...
continue to move
continue to dream
burning down the roof
warming up the rift
cherishing this chance to share with you
some amazing moments in my life
souvenirs and memories
written in thoughts of scarf..."
