POST

"Post" a Voice yelled at my doorstep
and a nostalgic world beckoned
The times of inland letters and postcards

The concern, the tears, the smiles and the love
The stories of neighborhood, the news around
The piece of paper conveyed, wellbeings in the battleground!

Miles of distance, the message travelled
with prolonged wait, the feelings magnified
The eager eyes drank the content and dowsed the thirsty heart

so much to convey and such little space!
each sentence colored with flavors of emotions
every word written, dipped in the heart's ink

How ironic, I thought
It was then, and it is today,
when The gizmos shrunk the distance
Yet the connections seldom meet...
