Missing Siblings Poem by Kolitha Lelwala

Time flies so swiftly..
There was a time on mom's lap.
There had been a time with lovely quarrels...
sobbs and hatred
existed less than a second.
Clouds have rolled by swiftly
time has come into a new era
with “spouses” & 'in-laws'
love, romance, divine love, sensuality
words proceed with time.....
home, work, responsibility
parenting, kids and family
pulling the soul into another world.

Yet, suddenly an agonizing pain
traverses through the ventricles
Oh God! It’s a real pain.
Missing siblings!
how many events
missed deliberately with them?
for “our” love, “our kids”
But,
there is a BIG BUT,
Never fetch same water in a stream
just after a snap.
Nor you see your same face following morning
Now you regret,
self criticisms.
NO! ! ! ! !
day is still young! ! !
