A Deep Sigh

A Deep Sigh… 

Coming back to

hostel by train,

looking outside,

the beautiful terrain.

The trees of glory outside the window

seemed coming to me.

Still my day

and my heart was gloomy.

Same boring lectures and

bulky assignments were to come.

Thinking of that situation

was too gruesome.

Running like a metro,

which don't seem me worthy

I know my life will be again

in topsy and turvy.

Living with the big city people

with so little time.

The grumbling crowd

but still seeming to mine.

I recalled, a few days back

Travelling on the same seat

heading towards my home

with great anxiety and great speed.

I saw trees going

back from there

As recovering from

so called the nightmare.

On my way to home,

I was very ill.

Whatever may be the cause

I believed, I would surely heal.

The peace in embracing

my mother was divine.

The pinnacle of her heart

was of no one, but mine.

I could clearly see

smile on her face

I was healed up

by her grace.

The flavour in my mom's food,

the enjoyment playing with siblings,

The love that I got from dad

was above all the feelings.

But coming back was too difficult

It was hard to reveal what I feel.

I conquered my expressions

but tears was hard to conceal.

With a fake smile

I bid them bye.

Wept out the tears

and took only "A Deep Sigh".
