Moments that Echo

Grandma clicked this picture
How many moons ago
I don’t know.

What I know is that she
Captured the joy of the moment,
the love that could never fade,
the beaming faces, the stars in the eyes,
the eternal hug – sibling bonding etched forever.

Royal robes of Mother Nature
fluttered in the fall breeze
Dad stood behind us,
Could there be a better symbol
of childhood innocence and parental pride?

Ah! How that love melts!
Time dust turns into rust;
The coating gets thicker each day,
Echoes of longing refuse to subside 
as I look at this precious picture.

Truth?

Shadows sway near them, blurring boundaries 
Moments of betrayal bleed,
foggy windows don’t lie.

In a trance, I watch how flimsy is trust 
how relationships wither
on obscure paths of love.

The definition of deceit is vague,
clouded by lies of judgment
truth holds various hues!

Your truth crouches behind the man you chose
My truth is so translucent 
Yet it is soaked in blood.

hazy sky echoes
songs of our favorite haunt
silent love saunters
remnants evoke sighing sounds
muffled in the hues of time.

***

hushed by static time
tea cups whisper our secrets
a long list of vows
only clouds could understand
the fury of our passion.

Magical Wings

trapped by boundaries
I watch from the window panes
waiting for a while,
a mild moment of respite
can anyone curb my dreams?

***

my magical wings
flutter despite the wild storms
don’t dare to touch them
they emit embers unseen,
unimaginable gift!

Mist of Time

Mist, my trusted pal,
In and around me, soothing my nerves,
Calming my emotions,
Transforming me into a kite in the clouds.

When giggles gave us an extra bounce
When joy bubbles burst with our footsteps
When a walk in the rain was thrilling
When puddles waited for our feet.

The magic of rain drove us out
With our precious paper boats 
Tears of trees landed on our heads
As the hugs of Mother Nature welcomed us.

The mist of time swallowed those hours
Treasured memories never fade
Moments beckon through my picture window
I re-live them through my grandsons.
