There are some moments surreal as a dream.
Calm as a cat.
You twitch a brow and the balance is perturbed.
A desire to see a different world in place of the real.
“The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.” ― Johnny Depp

Almost every fortnight I get that odd adoption update- family abandoning an old dog/ Mr. Highflyer leaving for foreign shores and putting up pet for adoption and so forth.
Out of an average life span of a decade, someone gives you unadulterated love for every passing second and you got the nerves to call it quits?

As you turn a new leaf today, marking the 14th year of our growing up together, I hope time takes a brief stall. I yearn to return to the cold floor underneath the bed, your secret hiding place, the Underworld…where you hid your treasures…rubber lizards, calcium bones, ferns and at times, mangoes. I hope I never grow too old to visit your place.

This is the rambling of an almost forgotten dog, forgotten to self, forgotten to cats, to other dogs, and to the world. And he waits — thinking and scribbling, and thinking and scribbling for precisely nothing. And his wait — tragic in fate, existence and essence, mocks him.
“But I don’t“, he said, “want a place of my own in this city of blinding lights; I don’t yearn for rooting myself in the urban Diaspora.”

This road is not mine to take,
But to follow,
As destiny paves my way.
These streets know my name,
As I know theirs.
They have carried me near and afar;
Waved me goodbye when hope has called me,
And welcomed me upon returning with my shattered dreams.
One day, I will take to the skies,
Like the birds I watch from the stairs at the temple.
I will embrace the Forgotten ones,
Breathe life into the hearts of all human beings,
And make every road lead to Home.
