Deepa Thomas - We & Mountains

I sat in the balcony
Watching those two mountains
So high and eminent,
Staying side by side,
Past those many centuries
Never thought of moving closer.

A thought passed in my mind
Aren’t we like those mountains?
Close but can’t move closer
Near yet so far away

Why are you so perturbed?
Let me come closer
Or send me a word
Let stars be the messengers!

Deepa Thomas
