The trigger
THE TRIGGER
In what form appears – this trigger
materialising-
As,
A figure?
A Long, lost memory
Of a reality;
Or, a…
Mind creation:
Purely,
Imaginary?
I probe the depths
Of my doddering mind,
Trying hard to seek and find,
Some image, or, imprint-
Of those times
Long gone…
But, not quite for-gotten!
Try as I may,
The concentration fails - to last!
With no blast
from the past!
Then!!!
All of a sudden…
The door creaks open,
To a flood of memories-
Of a childhood dotted
With delightful adventures
Adding texture
To the tapestry of life!
Oh…the fun we had-
From seaside frolics
To hill top antics;
Happy, and care free-
Young and innocent
We dived and delved……
Into the magical escapades
In a myriad of landscapes!
That paved the way to such welcome breaks
From the oh so dull routines of daily life –
School and home work!
So glad were we
To escape!
And now looking back
Relishing the moments we had
With our dear, dear cousins - Dhanam and Retnam
And our dearest friends - the Arasans
Will a time
ever come?
For us all,
To once again
Get together,
And, stay together
Forever?
