The house
Built with
Stone, wood and brick
Cemented relationship
Forever.
Neither brick nor stone,
Wood or cement
Were informed
Of the union;
An arrangement
That meant
Need to someone
And requirement
To another.

Harmony
A resolution to connect,
I took on New Year day
To connect, really connect;
To hear their voices,
Recollecting their facial expressions,
To Feel the happiness and share the memories,
From some teachers to friends…
I had to hear them all.
A “Hello”, a message of
“Very kind of you to have remembered…”
My teachers’ said.
A “Hello”, a message of
“Hey, I have all the time for you…”
My dear friends’ said.
Years without communication, yet connected
My heart and soul in harmony….

Frames on the wall
Four generations.
Great grandfather worked with the British
Grandfather witnessed the World War
And my father was born in pre-Independent India.
My brother and I heard their stories with awe;
History a wonder and life unimaginable;
The times have changed since then.
Our next generation
Loves the frames on the walls.
