A Table For Two

Light of sun on a bright sunny day kindle us up, throughout the way Its retaliating nature was never seen before I paused and thought, but it wasn’t its chore Reminding me of my life: a puppet show scrolling through the tunnel, sun refused to glow The more I walked the more I was soaked more than thirst, memories were choked Nearby shed was not any near sun at ’12’, body full with tears at ‘3’ ahead of me was a small short eat a place full packed, long waiting for a seat! My token asked me to wait for a while story of my life: – papers with no file! then a loud man shouted my name I got a table for two at a corner under frame A women was asked to share my occupance and there was my mind crossing the fence! She was the one from grass huts yet she was happier ‘no if’s, no but’s’ I was not quenched with whatever I had but her bowl of soup could made her glad I was the one with ‘everything’ but she was the one with ‘every’ thing! She suddenly saw the sadness in my eyes “what happened?” she asked in a deep voice I told her about my broken heart, in tone of a dead I told her about the tears I have shed Leaving the place she came towards me hugged me and said “Life is too short to be sad” the stunning thing I saw apart from my nags she was full of life, even with ‘both wooden legs‘.
