Retrospection Poem by Pranesh Patil

One day we'll look back at this and smile,
when we walked hand in hand and prattled for a while
for the place we met near a busy market, for the world that moved and we stood still,
sitting by the lake beside, just you and me and world aside..
swaying and singing in a sprightly dance,
with sempiternal glee and pristine love
with flowers of scent and soft gentle touch..
letters of love short and sweet..to construe the strength of perpetual love
clangorous bells on mountain top..juice of the cane at the temple stop..
stony seat on the temple lawn, we'd agree to sit and said no word,
for these moments in bliss..time just stops...
to capture those scenes..to rewind in fure..
when life is busy or our sins are done,
and if you have none..by the time then,
those memoirs come live..to keep you alive..
for the very essence of life is to cherish and nourish- the soul within and life outside.
