Sometimes I stand near the window-
Old fashioned, rusty with fading colors.
It shows me an eyeful of sky
Where clouds conspire and turn black.
Clouds are like memories, no?
You know it will rain, but when.
I see the quiet lane in a midsummer noon.
On one such day my kittens ran away
And never came back.
I wish if I could see them once, right now.
I hope they are alive. They will surprise me one day.
Do you think cats have emotions?
I see the gulmohar tree.
Under which you had held my hand and promised...
...Promised to hold my hand, forever. Never.
The gulmohar lives on. So do I and you, may be.
All apart, distant, as three incidents who never met.
Do you think trees have memories?
I wish the gulmohar will die.
I wonder why do I talk of pain,
Of them who have left me,
Of the kite orphaned in the vast sky,
for paper boats that never return.
All that is lost can always be found.
I cry for all that remains but can't be mine,...
...For the memories of a moth
Who dived into the fire one night
To become a glowworm.

touches deep
Reminds on two things
One is that i also would always wait to see if i can ever find a cat of mine which ran away (apparently too many of my cats ran away :P)
Second , i somewhere read that the rose plant holds the rose so dear to it and one day when the flower drys off and falls it does not cry but enjoys even its falling and makes place for another rose to bud
:P:)
