All along the Halls of Time
Adorning its endless walls
Are those pictures;
If ever I were to regress
Into a past-
Any one of those myriad lifetimes
I may have lived-
I'd know one thing for sure:
Somewhere, somehow-
Among those portraits
Will hang some; very special ones...
When you and I meet,
And Greet-
Even if, to part;
To meet again,
Further down the Hall!
And that, you see,
Is just that!
Us.

being together...with someone special..nothing like that...and even after a long time after we have parted, it will be there in our memory..as pics hung on our mind's walk of fame..
ReplyDeleteIndeed Praveen, nothing like that :) Thank you for being as prompt as ever.. :)
ReplyDeleteMemories, of a beautiful past to be cherished forever! For me, it's the meeting of two friends, after a very very long time, those old memories gushing back...those times running on a 70mm screen (in sepia tones!) in our mind's theater! Ah! How lovely...:)
ReplyDeleteHah! It's the Christmas poem! :)

Us."
And that is my favorite part :) Beautiful thoughts, beautifully expressed.
Its signature you. Its signature love, togetherness, the simple bond, the nothing bond that is everything, its your touch, unmistakably yours.
ReplyDeleteThrough the halls of time I reach again where memory had guided me to, once.
It was worth revisiting again. Thank you ma'am. For you don't necessarily write poetry always, you do something more. You make us feel better. Us, who so dearly look forward to emotions that will touch, once.
I will stop blabbering.
Remembering is heart's own special way of being in touch with a loved one. Sometimes memories are triggered, by an unknown face, a bright day, a smile, an echo of a foot step.... All making life worthwhile and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTo meet, we part again and we part to meet again and the circle just flows... :)...

ReplyDeleteIntresting reading..... I liked these lines most;
ReplyDelete"When you and I meet,
And Greet-
Even if, to part;
To meet again,
Further down the Hall"
Although appearing simple, these lines convey the ultimate truth of meeting and parting!
