Request To Remembering By Winter. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

How long you remember the winter
From my childhood may you think
Where I felt you as coldest
When my mother put me in blankets
There I remember my ears were cooling
There I remember my foot was cooling
There I remember my mother covered all
As she was anxious to keep away from you
How long you remember the winter me
Now I am old enough not to run fast
The climates comes and goes in seasons
But I am perturbed in my aging mind
Where only I hope for a just farewell
Be it winter you remember me ever
Rains will come, Rainy season will come
But you only winter, is my close friend
You are the friend who remember me well
The beautiful cradle songs of my other
Gives me strength to remember the sound
Where I expect and hear the vibration sounds
My mother ever loved me but hesitated
For admitting her care and concern of child
Quarreled a lot but not cursed, kept pride
Still her death was a blow to me winter
The river Thejaswini my dear winter
You travel in heights of her cleverly
The river thanks you a lot being humble
Still winter, you are a perfect comer
Where the mist fall sounds ever in leaves
Here my dear winter I remember in my bed
Alas! I have no time to say good bye to you
Slowly I seek my sleep in silent mood
Where I hope for meeting you my dear winter
Somewhere in the other side of the world
May be it in the universe that I don't know.
