Palanquin of Hope
Telugu Title - Ashala pallaki
Author : Garimella Nageswara rao

From
where does this past come up? Knowing that I am alone
She
reaches me silently
Like
beloved walking without anklets
She
opens the doors of my thoughts
Abruptly
as it were
Holds
me by the hand
And
drags me into the by lanes of memory
In
pinching the cheeks of childhood for a while,
Lets
me bathe in the mischievous pranks of childhood
Winking
once more at the silly behaviour of the youth,
And
when floating on waves happiness,
In
an ecstatic mood reaching the sweet moments of the past
The
villain of the present period drags me into reality
And
scoffs at me laughingly.
While
in my innermost mind I tell myself
how
nice it would be to remain forever in the past
Hope
consoles me saying "why so sad? There is always a future"
From
then on swinging on thoughts
And
with trust in the future
I
taking out a procession of my ideas in a palanquin of hopes
Till
a day arise which I can call as my own.
