That Pair of Cups

Long way back, a journey began.

I found a soul inside a shell.

A memorable journey it became

When the road met the 'Wish Well'.

Encountered an 'old peasant'

Whose back had a bend.

I asked him, if he needs a lift?

He said- 'I can't pay the rent.'

"That won't be a problem sir.

Treat me as your friend.

Talk to me because I am alone

As the world around me is about to end."

He said-

"Allow me to start my story,

Which will get over in a count till forty.

Give your loved ones time because

Not every lock can be opened by a master key!

Either we walk up the ramp

Or we settle up a camp.

Let's remain an underdog

Because the darkest zone is beneath the lamp!

Remain a friend or let's turn foe

Didn't like something? You're free to go!

Even the moon hides in an eclipse.

Hence, don't play the game of column and row..

I Asked for forgiveness

She didn't show up!

That cafeteria is still there,

But alas! Not that pair of cups..."
