To Philippa Lane Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari
To Philippa Lane
I thought
I have been travelling these
Untrodden paths
All alone
I never acknowledged; you were there
Always heard you as a common name
Echoing in my little-lateral brain
Endorsed by my Psychiatrist that it is fake
Proving it to be a first-rank symptom
Just to establish a working diagnosis
And wrote ample pills to quench my throat
Only to validate a new hypothesis
Is my life a hypothetical situation too?
If it is
Then how come
That echoing green
Has come to life once again
It is little late though
But
Never too late
Today
I can proudly decree
I have not lived in vain
You have not lived in vain
We have not lived in vain
