This is very nostalgic. The images are virtually real put in brilliant words as usual. I would like to read the original as translations are never a substitute of the original.work. See my poem 'Ek khazan raseeda drakht' which I was unable to translate into english properly.

My story and yours are not that different. Emotion and nostalgia beautifully expressed by you. I am going to put a new poem up called Landing Place. Have a look at it later.

The rustic out-of-time world you create here brings your village very close! A wonderful and evocative poem. Well done!

it was a beautiful poem.it reminds me of my birth place, though i was born in a city. i liked the lines 'dream of happy days to come, while learning my lessons, under a dim hurricane lamp'

.Dazzling write Sir!  Your words moved me into visualizing the visit and, as all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, the bonds of roots, home and family make a homecomig sacred. 'My lisping words As they fell from my lips Are still alive' will be said of your poems in years to come - in respect Cindy

Friend, A good poem of sweet nostalgia. Likening the sound of your lisping words to that of a rapier thrust into silence is a telling image.
