Poem
(Dedicated to one of my childhood friends) You were one of those charming lilies that bloomed, so fresh, in my springtime pond; when my homesick wings of longings flutter and soar, and my mind alights on the periphery of the playparks of the past, I reminisce all the little fun we had along with our other friends - as we strolled through the narrow trails in the verdant flowery meadow that sprawled near our school during the tender years of our lives. The giggles and the laughter the chuckles and the chatter - those shrieks and the squeals that baffled even the needles of time to forget their own pace and hop and waltz along with us. Then roads diverged, new air we breathed as we took new paths to pursue our purposes in life. Years later, you arrived once very near my place yet we could not connect and get ourselves to meet. That day when we talked on the phone and I heard your voice after a very long time, my mind leapt for joy and soaked for some time in a summer drizzle of rainbow memories - of those I had long forgotten as you reminded them to me in our chat - they linger on like pleasant petrichor. Later, I tried to recollect and sing our childhood songs rhyming it perfect with the unrhyming clamor of our choruses. When commitments in work and family responsibilities seem to have rusted the gate to my nostalgic dam - your call was the key to open it - and when creaking opened wistful emotions gushed forth to form an ocean of yearnings to be a child once more. You revived the puddles of my mind with paper boats that carry leaves, stems, and flowers of fond memories. I felt like a gleeful kite in the vast blue, fleeing for a moment from the humdrum day. You will forever be the same charming lily adorning my little lake of most treasured blossoms. My bestie, my soul-sis.
