Reminiscences

a poem by Anitha Menon

Listen,to the stories
In us.
For,
They breathe, with us,
Laugh in happiness,
Cry in pain
With us.

Tomorrows lie hidden in them.
Wilted yesterdays
with distant echoes
Ringing feebly,
Come alive
Painted with the
Vibrant colours of life.
Like the smooth
Riverside- glistening
Stones-
Basking in the sunlight,
Ages pass them by.

Watched
With unblinking eyes.
