My contribution to Sunday Scribblings #100 - Time machine
Eyes red and brimmed with tears
Rice balls difficult to swallow
Future appeared desolate and grim
Near and dear consoled to support
efforts to alleviate the grief and pain
gripped with deep sorrow
devastated with the death of my mom,
in the painful moment, I receive
a special gift from God
soothing and comforting
the lyrics and the beats
a melody fresh and new
to the eardrums of a 11 year old
playing from the radio
in the rusty old tea shop
life moved on fine
a 15 year long journey
pampered by the love
and care of my dad
and now my hubby
yet the time machine
brings back the sadness,
reminds me of the trembling pain
and the caressing comfort
my precious song of a lifetime
This precious time machine is a Tamil song "Kaadhal Rojaave" from the movie Roja.
