Nandita is in conversation with a loved person, in an evocative poem, for Different Truths.
‘This is not the last meeting’ Goes the lyrics of a song At every nook and turning I keep hearing, all along My heartstrings whimpering, I let out a moan He beckoned, whispering “I'm here, you’re not alone. “I will never fade away I feel your feelings, all I know well what you want I will never let you fall.” The voices in my ears, Familiar and sweet Work on me like fire In my aching desire to meet I hope, I weep, I ponder Will I ever touch the voice? I reach out to try my luck But, do I hear him rejoice? And when I can't take it anymore “This is not the last,” he says My heart, churning at the core I hum his song in daze But now I know I am blessed I know who he is! He will meet me someday, as promised Just a soul being nice to me A soul being nice to me.
