As I met Myself
One afternoon- when I was ill
Alone taking rest at home and I feel
I found me- a glimpse still…
As I met myself after a long
The world has changed from right to wrong
‘He’ almost looked like stranger
No where to find that heart-
The boy, the child and the thinker.
The clouds have gathered on the waiting sky
This is the month of spring
Desperate we looked up to find
The ‘lion’, ‘the ape; and ‘the king’…
Nowhere to find the canvas and the artist
Who used to dream, sing and dream.
As he stood at the gate
Waiting for the rain to stop
An important meeting to attain
The contract should not flop…
And I remember the day-
Running back from school fully wet
Have to reach the football ground before it’s late
Ma was angry but baba was cool
And I enjoyed the fun of being a fool.
Today, o’ rain wet my outer and inner both
And dropp them into the river
That crosses the vales, the woods, the lands to meet the sea
-My childhood, my adult hood and the eternity…
Playing with the heart
In blissful pleasure – forever… forever.
