Me And My Friends Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

Wish they are alive now
Those friends of past days
With whom I had nice time
Our times spent in studies and plays

Wish they are alive now
Polished with life's struggles
We can sit together for a drink
And talk about tides and seagulls

Wish they are there to
Rush to me when I am in need
With them around this life would
Have been better and carefree indeed

They are sleeping in peace
Waiting for me in their cosy cells
I have become a weary soul waiting
For my eternal sleep with chiming of bells
