Space- Time

 Day-25 NAPOWRIMO-2021

Today, I wrote something for my daughter. She is in the US and we in India. The world is going through a bad phase and we worry about each other everyday. Just to give her hope and to have faith, I wrote a few lines.

Dear Sneha,


You are too young

To measure

The ridges of time

Spread across the skin

Some sagged

Some cracked

Some wrinkled

They have weathered

The stormiest of pain

The deepest of emotions

The softest of touches

And some have

Hardened when

The heart has melted

In an ocean of betrayal

You are too young

To know their depth

Be strong

To overcome

When they knock

And become your memories...



With Love,
Maa
