A Home away from Home
It’s a faraway place A ‘home away from home’ Keeping our eyes closed gives us a solace That we’re amongst folks of our own Then one day the festive season comes riding along Dusshera, Diwali reminiscent of revelry Amidst fire crackers, sweets and a song All in colourful attire, we turn merrily Towards the makeshift little puja of Saraswati That we have swapped for our own luxury Diwali has gone leaving behind a lil wound But college fests approach in time to heal the moan To bring us out of the cocoon Showing us that we’re amongst folks of our own No matter what road the future leads There is always a ‘home away home’ A family of friends to share life’s lil glees And here we build a shell of our own Adapted I have to my shell now A place I have come to know and love Will shed a tear or more saying ciao Where I have lived two years with fortified safety above Knowing the days I know will never come back again To live amongst folks of our own P.S.: My first ever poem!!
