Like a pencil of rays filtering out through the wedge on the closed doorway
And sufficing it all to light away the prevailing dark
The fathomless dark within the deserted home
Where time appears as a statichor
No one, not a soul lingers in this home
All is silence, no cries, no laughter , no groans
The silence in itself deafening
Dreams dreamt once upon a time appear frozen and cold
There’s even no warmth in these emanating rays to melt those broken dreams
Everything there , so moist and cold ….
Seconds pass by …. Time flows by
The world outside changes day by day
Witnessing what is left behind by those winds of change
Lest the deserted home remains as it is …
No one dares to tread the path to its depths , to unravel its untold secrets
It remains deserted , a forlorn story though , sadness rampant everywhere
And even if someday the world perishes
The deserted home will be left untouched by nature
Who too has ceased interest in blemishing even that deserted home, perched up precariously atop the hills confronting the countryside
Like a miserable soul, transfixed and in pain
The deserted home remains there, poise as it was
How long will it remain, unblemished, indestructible, no one quite knows
Witnessing mutely all that’s left of yesterday ?
