After this Life time
============================
Season is a bird coming home, seeking the old tree
with one or two things of the last season’s nest still remaining.
You can feel the lazy flowers are going to get busy
any day soon.
Some days your two cats are craving more of you
and then some days they are itchy
with a desolate craving, ignoring the news of this world.
A sea is crawling in the drawing room
and petering out soon you are touching
the albums of your last Christmas.
The bombing jets are still at it
but the fervor is not there any more.
They are longing to go to the suburb station
with a tree where spring is returning
to build a nest and under which
a woman is waiting for his son
to return after a life time…. After this life time.

Again, Kushal, (as always) you had me spellbound right the way through your beautiful, poignant poem.  The pain in it saddens me, but you certainly have the talent to express it in the most beautiful and unique way.  Thank you for enriching me with every poem.

i really like this poem.  it makes me feel hopeful for the light, while very aware of the dark.  Beautiful balance and symmetry, if that makes sense.  Very good job.
