Dreams For A Brighter Tomorrow Poem by Shankaran Kutty

When the evening sun is setting
And the chores of home are done
When the silver moon is rising
Amongst the crimson hues of sun
And quiet blows the wind
In it flutters memories from past
The hurt that to it are pinned
Will we erase or will it last

As the moon plays hide and seek
With the clouds laden with rain
As the future looks dark and bleak
Fraught with incessant pain
When the first needles of rain
Pierce my skin and heart
Will my efforts go in vain
To stop us forever part

As I stand there alone
Will you hold my hand
The seeds of mistrust sown
Will you pluck with a magic wand
The dreams we wove together
The passion we shared, our love
The tears, the cuddles, the laughter
Can we rekindle somehow

I remember the sweet fragrance
First time you stood by my side
I remember I yearned your presence
I remember, how you hurt me with your pride
I remember your silken touch
Your soothing words in my strife
I miss you ever so much
Can’t pluck you away from my life

One cycle of life is over
Wasted in frenetic pace
It is time we took it slower
For life, is not a race
On Time’s never ending shore
We will write out our sorrow
Let the tide rush in once more
To wipe them, for a fresh tomorrow.
