UP kong Mahal

Once I knew a place where I found myself,
A place where the earth speaks softly of its long forgotten tune,
Where the trees greet you with no hesitation,
Just stays there and offers wonderful sojourn.

I like to sit quietly at the root of the trees,
Where I can listen to someone I cannot yet see,
To see the people walking pass me,
And experience their lives vicariously.

I don't know how many lives I've led,
just sitting there,
but I could see what their eyes conceal,
the pain, regrets, happiness and joy that only they can feel.

But now, it isn't the same it seems,
The place no longer talks to me,
For I no longer belong to the place that I loved,
The friend that I had, was a stranger to me now....but I guess
remembrance is all I have.....
