IMPRINTS of Time

                                                              IMPRINTS of Time



      Sometimes I see shadows
Playing somewhere in a corner            

Sometimes I hear voices,
    The pitch too high

           Sometimes flashes of memoirs blur the reality
     And I sneak-peak back into past

       I smile, happily, joyously to myself

             I realize that a bag full and heavy I have restored
              From the very best moments of my life

            Decorated with glitters of laughter, sparkles of strives
           A pinch of even those tears shimmer in it

Balloons full of love and life, hate bait sarcasms, craziness and insanity
   In unison with the fun filled fights

And up and up they have flown
   Over many many moons of time

Sometimes I come to this place,
Where a film roles before me

And I watch it keenly,
              All the magic moments again and again and again

        Sometimes the places around me become alive
           And I see outlines of people moving, talking, laughing

  It for once forces me to believe,
         To believe that there is a little bunch of insanes

Until I see myself among them,
                Churning the sweetness out of life and breathing it in deeply and merrily

      I see myself riding over the stallion
            And winning every game with pals along side

  I see shields hard for any power of world outside
  Soft and mild at my end

                Dusted with time and eroded by that very world
               I find those spots worthless, dim and dejected

                 What remains is fossilized time and deeply buried nostalgia
    Of that I am the owner and the treasurer

      These instances as they passed,
       Jeopardized me with their very ends

         But as I stand at the brim today
          I satisfy my fears with just one line-

       “Nothing could have been better”

        I drank from the chalice of life
         And sprang from my very own ashes

       The journey moves forth,
                  
But sometimes just sometimes
I see shadows playing somewhere in a corner
                  
Sometimes I hear voices, the pitch too high
                   And with a sneak-peak back into past

    I smile happily, joyously to myself.
