Piece Left and Ignored

Piece Left and Ignored


        A beach ball stuck in rafters of a pool
         resting in same position since last seven years,
            as I visit the pool off and on.
              The ball might be filled with air
                     breathed by its owner,
                      retaining remnants of his personal attachment,
                             Yet neither recognised nor reminded.

                I wander place to place
                   and wonder, where I might have forgotten
                             a piece of mine, but solely ignored,
                                  yet could be honoured!
                     My one -time presence might have left
                            a significant part representing me.
                   But I never recollected nor visited that spot.

                       I would like to inquire ,
                       whether I left any portion related to me,
                         unnoticed but detected by someone 
                            who ever valued that !
                       I hope , someday I will encounter and interact 
                        a long lost friend once important in my life,
                            still preserving special memories 
                              associated with a trifling item.
                             I might tie the scattered beads 
                      to make a necklace to shine reflecting 
                                    my one-time entity.
    
                        Miraculously that may link me to bygone days
                              to reminisce as worth not trivial.
                         Part of chapters once left on negligence
                                   be reassembled, rearranged 
                         to present my one- time existence on reality.
