Sometimes, to walk backward as much as forward!: A poem 

Do you think anyone can invalidate candour or honesty? 

Is a memory an illusion or a reality, that you’ve picked up 

from some distant recollection? How the stars exist 

in our vision beyond their lifetimes? Do you think I would 

just hastily valediction a past because it brings me pangs  

of pain.  There is a love that overlaps every brigade of change. 

From times when there was no script, to times when there 

were speaking stones, to times when there were scrolls,  

to times when we read avidly from publishers who were  

in the know. Is it invention or recollection? All fiction has original 

form, that we discover and rediscover time and again from our forgetting!  

We all must realise that we have to live to an end, and live again! 

Now we’ve even forgotten books! If we can have AI chips in our brains, 

may be we will know all, but would we forget the chirp of that omnipresent 

love that lasts insignificantly like a blade of grass and yet a flame   

that is reminiscent of every moment of the infinity. I am just not going to  

blockade what belongs to me through the wisdom of my soul! 

I am no `have not’, belonging to an age that delivers too much, 

and yet contains too little! I was walking on a bridge one day, and a little  

strange bird flew into my face. It came from Mars…I remember 

it by its colours. It spoke of so much love, all those souls wrapped 

around me in a time capsule of a moment of an encounter. 

Sometimes, you just fathom you can walk backwards as much as you 

can walk forward!
