By Dr. Archan Mehta
Poem: I Know This Place
I know this place:
When you gaze out
Of the window
You can see deer
Playing with the wind;
The gentle wind with
Salt on its tongue
Becomes one with
The rising sun.
I know this place:
Where tender rabbits
Dance around trees,
Where the oceanic breeze
Plays with your long hair
And you forget about despair.
I know this place:
Where the ocean
Turns orange at
The twilight hour and
Holds you in its power.
I know this place:
Where the waiters
Are dressed up and polite
And serve the choicest
Meat and the finest, vintage wine:
The waiters know instinctively
When it is time for us to dine.
I know this place:
Where the singers and
Other musicians will
Wait for your request:
They will play our
Special song, honey,
Till the break of dawn.
I know this place:
It is expensive
But what’s money
Between friends?
After all, we’re in
This together, you and I,
Till the end.
