Memories

[Original (in Odia): Lipsa Panda] 

Memories –

A friend of lonely times;

The scorching heat of summer;

Feel of the moonlit nights;

Colourful butterflies in the Spring;

Cuckoo’s melodious coo-coos;

The secret love of a virgin girl;

Flickering flames of a wintry evening;

Appealing aroma of the soil after the first Autumn rains;

The first love letter of the beloved;

Fading glory of the royal clan;

Amazing pace of the wild stream;

Bridal wear of a newly-wed;

Pearls out of the shells in the seashore;

Pearl-like dew drops on the lotus leaves;

Murals on the mud walls.
