I expect you to be reading my lines
If I am very much dazed and believe
Strange times and strange things co-exist
Much as a flavor and aroma ingrained
In a toffee, while you can enjoy and relish it
Where does it all vanish, like mist after dawn?
I enjoyed the many sunshine and moonlights
But where have they all gone with no trace?
Each morning the sun lights the skies
Until dusk you bask in the brightness and warmth
Why one foregoes it once the night sets in?
Festivals of yore, prayers and dances
While decked with halls of dancing damsels
With no restraint swirling around the mother Goddess of life
The golden dupatta of florets and creepers
Intertwining the gorgeous silks that young ladies adorn in
With flowing pleets of golden flowers of rich golden yarn
Children playing around happily, with worries unknown
Pagan rituals and festivals marking the lives and styles
Where have they vanished in the thin air
Before you can realize it is a changed world all through
May be one day, somewhere, we see what was and is..
Till that time hold your thoughts and spirits high
And live, exist, as I need to see the changing epochs
Behold so you can survive and relish the sweet things
That life offers always and forever blessing you…
