Gist of Fleeting Memories

Memories remain and often becomes part of our identity. Here’s a poem by Durgesh, for Different Truths, where he takes the ‘voyage within’ to emerge enriched.

A Lotus blooms 
on the sediment of memories.
An old man is the real owner 
of those golden stories.

By remembering those glimpse
he goes in past.
Where –
He laughs. 
He weeps. 
He plays.
He runs fast.

With each wrinkles 
of upcoming waves of time. 
We’ll too reach there 
with melodious rhyme.

But a soreness among inner peace 
which we’ve felt.
A shiver silence 
which can’t be melt.

A gust of wind 
changes the direction of our thought.
Though, the sensibility among us exist. 
Yet, our attitude of viewing the life is rot.

Here, I would like 
to stop my muse. 
Let’s decide, which the path 
you need to choose.

Till then, take care 
of those soft petals red. 
Otherwise, 
it may soon fade.
