Promise of Memories


Like footprints on the sand,
Washing away with the waves.
Like the arch of the rainbow,
Melting with the clouds.
Like the dewdrops of night,
Vanishing with the first light.
Like the leaves of fall,
Departing with the snow.
Like the resting butterfly,
Hustling away at the footsteps.
Like the grass kissed golden,
Falling flat with midday sun.
Like the shooting star,
Freezing at the Earth.
Is not the end as I construe,
But the promise of more to come.
For the eyes twitch and the face contracts,
Before the lips burst forth with smile.
For the pain of childbirth,
Makes the mother an artist.
And in the memories of today,
We hold the seeds for tomorrow.


A poem for the beautiful woman in this photograph and to look back into our wonderful time after marriage on the Kavvayi island in Kerala.
