Bus driver
The crying toddler stretches his hands
His mom sweeps him up and kisses
The tears gets overshined by the toothless smile
Ripping apart the craving in my heart
-the longing to have that priceless glimpse of my mother ..
Unable to hang on to the eyelashes,
A tear drop fell down on to my hand..
Amidst the efforts to hide my red eyes,
I see a healing smile etching on the rearview mirror.
--It is the bus driver
His farewell note for that day:
"God bless you maa'm "
My face grim,
Hands trembling in tension,
Losing hopes of surviving the day..
A reassuring smile twinkles on the rearview mirror.
--Its the bus driver.
His farewell note for that day:
"Have a Great day maa'm"
Happiness and love
blasting fireworks on my face
Lost in the land of romantic thoughts
An all-knowing smile flashes on the rearview mirror
--Its the bus driver
His farewell note:
"May you get lots of roses today ma'am"
Time of my return
struggling to stick back to the present
while pulled by the future
On the long plane journey back
a thought peeps into my mind
have i missed something ?
Yes!- a goodbye to the old man
Clueless if I will meet again
--the bearded old driver
