Along with the embellished blue azure;
It emanates those evocations again and again
world I always aspired as a permanent fixture.
Those days were never cognate to my dispatched bustles,
Just something with a life, full of gaieties.
A blistering and blissful summer,
which induces infinite remembrances beyond any bounds.
My grandparents waited impatiently for my arrival
with the whole house and garden being ready and stabilised;
And when I reached, I saw a flare in those eyes,
Out of an intense serenity when the most awaited guest comes.
We mention summer to be a riot time, or
An extraordinary daylight savings time
But for me, it was all secured to heal the wounds
By the occult power of nature for mending minds
I enjoyed those delightfully rich desserts grandma made
And taught my grandpa those sensational Snapchats!
I had days to restore my childhood with cousins,
With cat’s cradle, peekaboo and hopscotches.
We explored the tailor-made rituals of the place
Which are far apart from the life in burghals!
And I was entirely a new girl in ethnic wear,
diversely transformed from my itinerary past.
And then, those two months came to an end with a farewell,
to the most splendid summer life I witnessed;
Everything went back, leaving an unadorned ‘goodbye’
And a few transitions from moments to memories.
I’m awaited to feel the warmth of the next summer,
But I know;
“Summer will end soon enough and childhood as well.”
