Nostalgia
Posted on 08. Sep, 2012 by Ali Abbas in English Poetry, Todays Thought
walking down the old roads…
we look for the ups and downs..
searching the embers of lost memories…
listening to sounds of days bygone…
looking at the trees once green…
swinging merrily on childhood dreams…
oh the happy care free past…
i wish longer you had last…
the smiles and the innocent laughters…
the blue skies and the rainy days…
splashes of joy and tears of love…
easy was to find fun and play …
running down the muddy patches…
castles of imaginations and clay..
full of stars was the canvas of night…
sharing stories by the fire light…
how we long to stay here forever…
living on the never ending days…
ahead we move as time goes on…
leaving beyond parts of our life…
clear was the vision crystal as the river..
flowing on the hopes of a new found life…

This is beautiful…. Something I can really connect to especially the couplet at the end:
"clear was the vision crystal as the river..
flowing on the hopes of a new found life…"
It's strange how we are all so different from each other and yet we all experience similar things

Thank you for liking it so much Shayaan. We may be all different in how are life goes on… but the experiences we share are often similar

A wonderful poem indeed!
I remember my childhood although a long time has passed since. I'm 68 you know! I remember flying kites from our rooftops with my elder brothers; who passed away a few years back. those bicycle rides to college,those wonderful summer-evenings when i used to go to play soccer with my friends. Especially,the day before the Bakra eid when I and my father went looking for Bakras.
I wish i could go back in time. Thanks a lot for this poem!
