COMPANION

In the train I sit

Grey clouds circling the white dull sky

Sudden drizzle and the cold breeze

Makes the twilight brim with hues

Desperate to scribble

With no pen in hand

I hesitantly borrow one

A friend who made one of my travel worth remembering

The travel in which I couldn’t even enjoy

My most reminiscent place

The beach at the sunset

I usually sit alone,lonely

Gazing the glorified giant loose itself into the darkness

Not even my best felas share that moment with me

Even though they are close around

But this beach was special with white sands and shallow depths

The sky turned saffron red

Birds making its way into the horizon

For the first time I wanted to share these moments with a special friend of mine

I didn’t invite

Nor did time help

I didn’t wait for the sunset

I missed the most relishing moment of the trip

This companion of mine knew my heart well

Struggle for words made me look into the pen owner’s face

Deep slumber had embraced him

I made a happy sigh

This friend of mine help me discover my true self

Understanding self in those sparkled few moments

Gives birth to life’s most cherished moments

May be a travel’s most revelled moments comes not from the place you visited

Or the sites you have seen

It’s the people who makes it fulfilling experience

These moments of friendship makes this shallow life a fathom deeper

In these moments we live rather exist

Views and dimensions of thought differ

But these pure moments of happiness makes me live more

Now the dusk has slowly sneaked in

There is grin in the owner’s face

Thinking what this manner less fellow is doing…..
