Of Time And Place... Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Of Time And Place...

Rating: 3.8


It was a different world
A world of long long ago
Full of innocence, love and trust
Before the mist rose and covered it
Like a curtain, growing thick

Was it real or a dream?
That world of fairies, angels
And protecting arms?
The ground firm beneath the feet
The sleep peaceful and sound?

Ah, to return forever!
Forget the knowledge gained
Wash the dust from the soul
Erase the scars from the mind
And return to that place

Where nobody ever said…
This is life…

4 stars. It doesn't sound like a BAD place to be. Can I get ice cream there (free ice cream) ? bri ;)

[ See comments below by Dr. DKS ] For a 'poet' on PH who apparently does not authorize comments on his poems, he sure has lots to say to others! !

'Where nobody ever said… This is life…' Was it a time before humans had begun to use language? It probably was a dream. Let me know when the train leaves to return there. : ) bri
