TWILIGHT AND BEYOND by Mohan Palat The sun was casting its last rays over the horizon And darkness fast enveloping the world I sat in solitude watching the beauty of the twilight sun And the stars and the moon take over the skies. Soon my mind wandered Into long lost yesterdays and distant thoughts Memories, sweet and sad, crowded around me Like hungry vultures around their prey The memories flashed before my mind's eye Strong and clear And soon the past turned into the present If only momentarily ... Those dim voices from the past, momentarily eternal That stretched out to reach through time and distance Those unerasable images from the backpages of life That, like a flower at dawn, became a joy to behold Those distant sounds of laughter Still ringing in the ear, loud and clear Those muffled sighs of sorrow Silenced by the passage of time Those long forgotten childhood summers When the simpler things in life still gave happiness In the solitude of the night As I walked alone, in the garden of memories The unforgettable moments of the life gone by Became nostalgic realities, if only momentarily ...
