Play

by Dr. Sutapa Chaudhuri

in another place,

in another time-

in a lost world long forgotten…

youthful laughter

played hide and seek

in bright alleys

of glittering life.

‘I spy you!’

rang out confidently

in dimly lit

fragrant doorways.

flavoured with warmth

and spicy company,

a touch of colour

lingered still

on cold grey days-

bursting into myriad hues

at a touch.

chasing away all fears…

blind folded in darkness-

yet never missing light…

never going astray-

secure in the knowledge

of belonging

for ever.
