Nida Khan Writes

Do you remember them?
With soft sunlight
Casting shadows on your face
As you whispered secrets
So loud everyone could hear
That cotton breeze
Soothing your happy heart
When you sang
Tunes so carefree
When you laughed
an ocean of joy
When you gasped for air
Between tag , hide ‘n seek and hopscotch
You stole a few seconds to sit and
Catch your breath
And a ragged tennis ball
You were starving by then
But juice and French fries could wait
You tripped over ancient tree roots
And scraped your knee
But tears could wait
The sky shed its blue
It was time to go home
But you wanted to trap that moment
Like fireflies in a clenched fist
Just 5 more minutes!
You said to your friends
Those lazy summer evenings.
Do you remember them?
