My Wish

Magnificent mountains with trees so tall emerald meadows, meandering streams such a divine beauty to enthral. Kashmir is beautiful only in my dreams, my return to valley unlikely it seems. I wish in my homeland, peace prevails there death still dances with ugly eyes over two decades gone by, my heart wails. I have saved childhood memories as prize, someday valley will have peaceful sunrise. July 11, 2016.

In the year 1990, I was forced to abandon my home in Kashmir due to the turmoil caused by the separatists. Since then, I haven't been able to go back and I wish and pray for peace and maybe someday I could visit my homeland.
