Poet : Jotsna Jari
.
Father was my sky…
he was the direction of the path
Without Dad this world is
just darkness.
.
Father lives in that sky
in my distant land
Who knows… Dad becomes a star
and watches over me.
.
Father surrounds me
when I walk & talk
In my words & deeds and
in my mornings and evenings…
Dad comes back to my consciousness.
.
I forget days months years
I just sit and think…
Father is gone forever and
all my keys to happiness are lost.
.
In my writing, in my music
Dad would have been happy
He used to wipe it with care
my wound of self-respect.
.
No one tells me when I cry,
oh my daughter… don’t cry at all
always keep a smile
on your lips.
Seeing your cry
my inside chest twists up
When my daughter smiles…
a thousand buds bloom inside my chest.
.
Father is gone…
all trends of my life are lost.
So I bear…
all the collisions alone.
