Youth
- poem written by Deial Johnson

A girl is sitting
infront of me.
She is looking
out the window of the Kadamba bus
That will take
her to someplace.
Her eyes linger
out, staring at the damaged roads, lush green trees, and an array of vehicles
waiting to cross the Zuari bridge.
She looks like
someone familiar to me,
Like one I've
known for years;
A girl for my
past- that's what I think she is.
As I look at her
sitting opposite me in the bus,
I see the youth
in her masked face.
She has not a
single sign of stress- it seems,
Because she has
no dark circles.
In some way, she
reminded me of my childhood days,
Bliss and
stress-free!
And sometimes, my
childhood is where I long to be!
Yet, I'm glad
that I see me in her, her in me.
Poem written in the bus while traveling from college back home. A young girl, probably 13-15 years old got into the bus. Maybe she was going back home or vice-versa from tuition.

ReplyDeleteYou know I literally searched the Zuari Bridge and found you must be Trevelling through that bus....I used to think the poems are just imaginary but now I think A poem is a beauty way of explaination of an incident too..it's kind of a way to express the millions of thoughts floating in our mind and heart...which is beautiful...
