Lost story of smoke and ashes
What remained of a classy smile,
Dark deep set eyes and gentle locks of hair,
Linger in my memory those days and nights,
Those times when we were there together with ONE lingua familia,
And then came a full stop ...life standing still
As you pass away so soon at sixty
Down in my heart is the pain that gashes
Of the lost story of smoke and ashes
This only remains after the funeral pyre burns
Like a cigarette burning , leaving fumes and ashes
The story behind remains nothing else remains...
Your picture on the wall..stands still tall.
Winds of change for good blow
Incarnation of you my father follows
Back from the azure misty skies.... from the heaven n back to the earth
You take rebirth as the sabbatical ends
Undone story of the smoke and ashes
Changes to vibrant story of smoke and ashes...au revoir...
