Nostalgia hit me again
When I reminisce a short glimpse of that moment
Archived somewhere in my memory lane
That’s what my old man said-
“There’s a little girl and her meticulous mind
Always in a daze,
Leaving me with dozens of questions from time to time”
Some may say,
My metaphors are a resemblance of his character
My attitude is a partial reflection of his kind gesture
About what he resonates with others,
For me, he’s a man of rare perception
And to him,
“She has a tenacious viability
Which never fails to amaze me
I remember an instance,
This little girl in her candescent white boots
Struggling to coordinate her footsteps with mine
While she walks along the path
Swaying her umbrella from left to right
Hopping in the puddle of mud
Augmenting the joy of summer
She dwells in insatiable curiosity
She’s charming in her favourite attire
Blazing red on the ethereal cotton fabric
Stitched on the linen with fancy frills
Always lost amidst the things she admires
While the gust of wind makes her hair frizzy
Unbothered and stubborn to this world
She’s shining like a morning daisy
I captured the charm in her face
And If she wonders why,
I shall address this moment as my true happiness
you smiling back at me”
The origin of my hope
Such sweet memoirs of my youth
Unraveling my thoughts before you
He said,
“You remind me of my former self”
I recall such blissful days
It’s been years, I was young and naive
To assimilate this specific memory
But he rememberes every verse of my existence
To him,
I’m still that little girl in her candescent white boots
Who’s lurking behind his pile of old books
Well that’s how he sees me
Away from the chaotic struggles of today;
Happy and care free
