Till I Blinked!!!

a poem by Mitwa Mankodi

The cool and calm breeze
tickling our souls to laughter
walking down hand in hand
leaving behind our footprints
knowing their life will be together
only till they could be washed away!!!

My spirits were uplifted
Standing in midst of the crowd
we could hear the laughter and the music of life
could feel the warmth and the want of life!!!

Just then our laughter turned into an echo!.a far off echo
Darkness surrounded our flame of life
I searched for the hold till a tear trickled down
making me realize my presence
in the silence in me!! till I blinked
and realized that the small and big pair of footprints
were washed away by the tears of my reality!
leaving my eyes wide open
just to close them again
and to make my world in my dreams
to see my Dad’s footprints on my soul!.all over again.
