The redolent air fills my senses
Sharpens my longing
For the bygone days
The past beckons
With beguiling memories
If only, stepping back was easy!
I stand hesitating
The future looks daunting
But has to be met
My fears, I know, are baseless
Without any substance
Yet have the power to arrest me
It is a leap of faith that I have to take
So I shut the door behind me firmly
And move ahead.

This is so lovely, Punam…so true that bygone times beckon; a friend and I were talking about how much simpler it was when there was no cable TV–just 3 channels, no cost, and they all went off by midnight! And maybe cell/mobile phones are convenient, but they seem to steal a lot of time and intimacy (just my opinion) 🙂

Thank you so much! Yes, technology has come at a cost. We have friends from around the globe but we have alienated those in close proximity.
