Be There! Poem by Avik Datta Gupta

Be there! somewhere, like fond memories
Which time failed to snatch away
The way the days rise
The way the nights fall
Those recursive feelings stay.

Be there! dear friends
You're miles away
All tracing your own lifelines
When a snap from the past
Halted the minutes holocaust
Before limping back to the waves of time

Be there! all you blessed souls
As you rest in peace
How can you rest so long?
Don't you feel our thoughts?
Pushing you to live
With the tune of a familiar song

Be there! if you are
As you hide, we seek
Like the stars so many of them
As we wander and wonder
Where none of us realise
We're very near,
But lost, in a crowd of games
