Old House

She is standing at a distance, freezing and numb

That old place is calling her, the only home she knew once.

The one she had made with dreams and hopes,

In the corner of her heart, that is now closed.

To turn back or go ahead,

Little confused she is to go in past!

Is it right? Is it wrong? To peep into some days that no more last.

Walking at a snail's pace, she  reaches near her old home,

Leaning on dusting wall and looking through stained dome

Her thoughts are changing the length of her lips,

while  memories run down from happiness to scream.

The moment of realization has blown her mind,

It was a hollow place without the one with whom it was built

The house will retain  experiences and wisdom

Time has come to lock its door, throw the keys and move forward

Stepping ahead for a new home with new wings

She looked back once and turned around with moist eyes

Her tears no more resembles the sadness of loss,

The old home remains inimitable, but

The new home is her destiny to find new horizons!
