I am standing aloof in the field,
The sunrays gleaming on the grasses;
Their dwindling population on the soil could not prevent their radiating beauty.

I turn around,
And the olive edifice of nestled memories lays before me,
So bare, standing proud, all smeared in sunlight.
My eyes glistened; perhaps due to the unmannered dust that were dangling in the air;
Or may be not?
Thousand emotions remains concealed in the form of unspoken words.

The memories that have been hurdled for ten years,
Seems to be emanating and piercing right through my lubs and dubs.
I smiled, but no hapiness reched my eyes;
The blacklisted feelings of my mind crawl through my flesh and bones.

I stared at the edifice standing before me.

Suddenly, a familiar figure stood before me;
'From where' screams my heart.

She smiles at me,
I smile back at her ,
Same eyes, same smile, same style;
Our same interaction.

She started asking me something,
And kept on asking and asking and asking..
Why can't I fathom anything?
The world seems too unbridled,
Blurry before my eyes.

In a trice, I wooshed inside the huge edifice.
Standing still like an effigy,
Not a single soul could I see,
My heart is now smeared with tragedy.

Like the first ray of the sun,
I see a smiling face;
The then empty rooms are now thronged with souls who are smiling at me.

I ran from door to door of each room-
Basking the warmth of the familiar souls;
I am no longer alone;
For in my blood and veins,
Resides the olive memories that my heart has grown.

Wrote this poem in memory of my beloved mother school.

The source of this poem is my own dream which I had after leaving my old school 🏫
That lady is my physics teacher and the first soul to smile was my best friend .
