Summers That Have Been

I sit besides the fire and think

Of all that I've seen

Of meadows, flowers, and butterflies

In summers that have been

But all the while

I sit and think

Of times that were before

I listen for returning feet

And voices at the door

After-note:

2 years already,

Still feels just yesterday!

Time... and its play!!

A little behind the scenes:

This piece was written probably somewhere around 2015-2016ish. I found this in one of my old bags... while I was browsing through the unintended archives.

I do not exactly remember the story behind the write-up. However, from the lines, I think I was thinking about the past summer (probably the summer of 2015). And every time I kept wondering about that, something of the then present life must have brought me back from my thoughts.

The time I found it again: April 07, 2023, Friday, 03:12 AM IST.
