Decades later if I happen to see you again, <br />Again decades later, at the lean mall hour, <br />In the month of September, <br />When for the office, there is hurry no more, <br />Fun with grand children and philosophy of life we discuss, <br /> <br />Or we might have run out of work, <br />Nothing to be busy with, <br />When new technology and the new generation, <br />Marginalized the old and the rest. <br />Restricted we are limited to our nest. <br /> <br />Almost entire life is gone as you look back, <br />Still if I meet with you during a morning walk, <br />Having taken that turn at the juice shop, <br />As you walk slowly on the other foot, <br />The decade’s gap has made our memory remote, <br /> <br />Almost entire life has passed, as you take a rear view, <br />Then again if destiny arranges a meet of me and you, <br />Decades later on a misty morning, your old self gets back at you! <br /> <br />(April 30,2007)<br /><br />Amit Biswas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/925-decades-later/
