A message to an unknown friend
A message to an unknown friend :
Friend … give a day for me from a day of yours , a day saved by stitching hours and minutes from those moments when you have wanted to share a piece of your mind …and then when we meet …we soak our whole day in the yellow sunshine of happiness …. bask in every memoir which is reminiscent of our childhood … shower in those little drops of innocence once more … turn the leaves back and pull a page from my first crush and your first sweet tear of love … live that almighty crush and your first moist eyes in love , one more time. Remember those futile attempts to keep forgetting the maths exam as if it were never there in the calendar … how dearly we wish we could meet those bitter moments once more , and this time with an assurance that they were destined to be coated sweet through time’s passage.
That yellow bird whose name I never knew, perched on the ageless Bell Tree near my window, will take flight once more , and the old bangle seller, whose face you had never seen and yet his voice filled your lonely childhood afternoons .. will trudge back one more time on that shady lane of yours.
And then when we are tired surfing through the sunshine … we allow the day to pass into dusk , my shoulders for you and yours for mine, as the canopy of gray engulfs us ….we light a candle to celebrate , I light another to look at the tears that kiss your cheek wet ….
The night will pass into the lap of a new sun…a new day in the life of friends … it’ll again be the same din of your life and mine …. as we bid innocence on its one way road, a last bye .
PS : A blogger’s article doesn’t need any explanation on what , why or why not ? As a passing note , this article is a short testimony to my lost innocence … the fervour of childhood friendships and a yearning to relive few moments from those good old days.
