Mother
Mother
Today I sat beside her, engrossed in the phone as I always do
Suddenly I noticed her hands
These hands seemed no more youthful now like they have lost the brawn
Those were the hands she used to beat the crap out of me when I can't solve maths problems
Those were the hands that used to screw my ears if I mispronounced a Hindi word
Those were the hands she use to feed me with
And I got hit with a nostalgic feeling
I couldn't gather words to put them into a line and ask her "Mom when did the time pass?"
Is It me who has noticed your sudden transformation from a Hitler to Mother
Or you were always like this
Those hands you use to console me with even though I never cried in front of you
Those hands you used to wipe my unseen tears
I remember all of it even after years
I wish I can clench your hands so tight that my energy gets transferred in them
I wish I can just freeze each and every moment to spend 'em with you again and again and again
But I know I can't.
So here, some words from my heart
Here's a piece of my lil art.
