A Table For Two
Light of sun on a bright sunny day
kindle us up, throughout the way
Its retaliating nature was never seen before
I paused and thought, but it wasn’t its chore
Reminding me of my life: a puppet show
scrolling through the tunnel, sun refused to glow
The more I walked the more I was soaked
more than thirst, memories were choked
Nearby shed was not any near
sun at ’12’, body full with tears
at ‘3’ ahead of me was a small short eat
a place full packed, long waiting for a seat!
My token asked me to wait for a while
story of my life: – papers with no file!
then a loud man shouted my name
I got a table for two at a corner under frame
A women was asked to share my occupance
and there was my mind crossing the fence!
She was the one from grass huts
yet she was happier ‘no if’s, no but’s’
I was not quenched with whatever I had
but her bowl of soup could made her glad
I was the one with ‘everything’
but she was the one with ‘every’ thing!
She suddenly saw the sadness in my eyes
“what happened?” she asked in a deep voice
I told her about my broken heart, in tone of a dead
I told her about the tears I have shed
Leaving the place she came towards me
hugged me and said “Life is too short to be sad”
the stunning thing I saw apart from my nags
she was full of life, even with ‘both wooden legs‘.
