In Memory Poem by Subroto Chatterjee
In Memory
[This elegy is in honor of a senior colleague on his first death anniversary]
Now tell me another story,
Quite new, but not hoary,
This gentle academic promontory:
I knew him in his glory.
The sum of moments we crossed
paths will never be lost.
Awakened we wonder what time to seize
God’s opportunities – if you please;
A reminder that life is a blink away-
From the remains of another day.
Softly I tread, greatly I fear:
Loved are the ones who are so near.

Memory is a rare gift, always worth savoring. A fine elegy for a colleague. Kind regards, Sandra
Those were great philosophical & poetic lines; indeed our 'life is a blink away'! A handsome tribute! 10! -Raj Nandy
A lovely tribute, wise words, your fondness for your colleague comes through strongly: ''The sum of the moments we crossed paths, will never be lost.' Yes we must make the most of our God given opportunities and fulfill our dreams.
the remains od the day remained alive, to say what one couldnt hear what he couldnt live to say
