You stand beside, spilling the tears
Like the pearls from the wet shells.
Even I stand there as a stranger
Either saying something nor wiping tears.
...

Train just reached at platform,
It was really a long jump.
By hook or crook I landed
At the middle of passage.
...

I was just 45 days old
You brought me home
...

Erecting the walls and fences
Of silence and aggression around.
Don't know, you trespass ever,
Still I am closing the gate.
...

I called and you came
Stand beside me in the que.
We didn't thought that time
It was start of a new journey.
...

All laughed, they want you too,
Nobody realised the pain in you.
You should laugh, louder than others
When they humiliate you.
...

Like the petals that fell
rejoin together,
Like the murmuring of leaves
synch with the beat.
