** DRIFTWOOD <br /> <br />My roots lie buried deep in the East, <br />Where sun is hot and winter least! <br />I wondered in service from place to <br />place, <br />Like a drift wood afloat on water’s <br />surface! <br />My luggage always followed in a truck, <br />And I hoped that my next posting would <br />bring me better luck! <br />I never got a chance to take firm roots, - <br />Like people staying in one place always <br />should! <br />Then finally I settled in this Delhi city, <br />With nostalgic thoughts of the East - <br />haunting me! <br />Now mentally I remain a floating entity, <br />Like a rootless driftwood in this Capital <br />City! <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 11 Mar 09<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/driftwood-14/
