Reminiscence

 

- by Pratyush Parashar Das 

The waves of tumultuous memories break upon the sand of my unrelenting consciousness,

Awakening emotions that rise unasked to the surface, and stirring thoughts that are intense,

As yet another year ends its watch on the Cosmic timeline,

I wonder how much I have learnt, and how far some things have been left behind,

A bittersweet realisation gently nudges at my heart, that though I can no longer relive times past, they shall live unmolested within, until Death shall we but not part,

A silent lament rises within me as I ponder the inexorable march of Time, of memories sweet and bonds lost, of happiness transient and yet deeply sublime,

As I accept that moving forward is all that I have left, though the thought leaves me weak, my strength bereft,

And so do all of us bravely continue walking on the path of our Cosmic journey, until our Soul transcends into a new vessel, ready for another tourney.
