It’s been a
long time
Since we last met
It’s me, hope you remember
Your long-forgotten self.
Dancing to the
tunes of times
Tending to the needs of your dear ones
You did not tire
Even while making the impossible, possible.
Up at the break
of dawn
All set and ready
Unquestioningly you surrendered
To what is expected of you.
You burned
yourself like a flame
Lighting up the way, guiding
Your small world, weaving the net of bond
Invisible yet strong.
Holding on to
the temporal promises
Of future, of your world
You allowed yourself
To be smothered, to be lost.
But, it is now
time
To rise from your ashes
And rebuild yourself
For you owe that much to yourself.
