Dear sister
Tying threads around my wrist
Adorned in fragrance of sandalwood
Year after year
A ritual you awaited eagerly
And I just complied.....
A few moments filled with
Little pranks, little laughter and little tears
But all joyful enough to keep sorrow at bay
Now years later and cities apart
My stoic mind breaks it's vow
As the sweet fragrance of sandalwood
Engulfs me...
there is a light somewhere within shining
Overwhelming.. as I stare at this thread you send
somehow stirs a ripple in the ocean of memories...
I forget the person I have become
I remember the people we were
The traditions and culture and sentiments
Seem to silly for my logically corrupted mind
But the this thread you send in a envelope
Reminds me of who I was with you
Carefree and happy
Thinking from my heart and listening to my heart only
I hope you are there too, dear sister
Below all the facade we act all day
The distance maybe a million miles
But my sweet sibling, we are tied by a bond of blood , there is no place far enough that we can go and lose a remembrance of each otber
Always and forever tied ......
