From mother to daughter

I shall miss you dear, even though you were never there with me but your presence gave me a reason to live, which was enough for me. Your smiling eyes lightened mine and your innocent smile spoke of those unsaid feelings which will remain even when you are never going to come back. I'm never going to see you which feels so killing and yet I feel so strong because you have left a wise example for me. I really did not expect you to make this difference in my life. I might have not survived but I'm surprised that I did. You so unknown of life and its sorrows, lived, so patient and so lively but for a short while. Why did you leave me in this world to face the world without you and to see the world without your eyes, to smile and survive, without any reason, your warm hugs always made me feel so special, your voice, an eternal bliss. I do not say I will remember you, because I do not feel you are gone. Your everlasting fragrance will always make me live each day. Your sweet thoughts will make my each passing day fresher. You created a world for me and will always remain within me.

Priceless

Darkened sky, light drizzling, lush greenery all around. I was walking down the wet grey road, glancing at the yellow flowers on the sidewalk. I saw blurred traffic lights at a distance in the dense fog. Birds were flying back to their nests and amidst their humming sounds, I saw a brown car stop four steps away from me. A hefty lady stepped out and made her way to the store. 

I stood there watching people and their activities. It was not just any other day, it was a day when you wanted to sit on your window sill and enjoy the weather outside, when you wanted to watch rain brushing lightly against your face when you stood in the balcony. A little drop fell on my face and it gave me a new reason to live. 'This was a time to live', I told myself. So I stood there in the rain and let it wet my face. I thought about times when I had somebody to be on my side always, but now I had none. It is these little raindrops which give me a reason to live again. I stood there on the sidewalk and watched the rain streaming down and refreshing me. I saw black umbrellas, people running to shelter themselves, some even signalling me to run and hide. But I preferred to stand there and enjoy this heavenly experience. It had been quite a while since I had enjoyed the rain. Now there was no one for me, I was for no one. I faced up towards the sky and stood in the pouring rain. I wanted to gulp every single moment of happiness. There was thunder accompanied by lightning and it drew darker each second. As I saw the sky turning from blue to purple to nearly black, I realized that this rain was actually a release, a stress outlet which assisted in releasing all the mental pressure. And compared to all the priced things of the world, this moment was absolutely priceless. After a while, I felt better and realized how precious that moment was. I stood in the rain for some time and then crossed the road to get some shelter. A smile ran across my face as I thought of myself when I was at the other end of the road.


I walked down the sidewalk and found a coffee shop. I found the same hefty lady with her endless shopping bags, dripping wet. I went inside and ordered a regular cappuccino.
