Castles in the air

a poem by Mrinmoy Khataniar

Spring time, fun time
I strayed into the old castle,
Smelt the moss in the walls and the flowers,
Evening sky was filled with thunder,
I came in late, late in the evening
I missed the morning and the afternoon,
But still everything is beautiful,
Alas, can’t play around now,
Chase the butterflies, smell the roses, play with the dogs,
But in a flash of lightening,
I could treasure all those nostalgic feelings.
