A Timeless Chord Poem by Nivedita Patnaik

Shimmering down the memory lanes

You I remember with love

for ages we hadn't exchanged much

yet there was always a chord..binding us



missing today your call of love

yet fondly remembering the stories

heard

the fish & rice eaten from your hands

the never ending childhood stories

yet always wanting more...



With years passing by

you had been a figure of concern

a mother who had been there in mother's absence

age enhanced your inner beauty...

as if spring had halted in you...

a bond that we share

time and distance made it strong

may you rest in peace today...

may you shine my angel..

my Grandma...miss you
