Thank You For the Memories

(For the Malayalam version, click here.)

Thank you

for the memories

that float as sweet incense

filling this atmosphere around me.

Thank you

for the new dawn

that breaks over the distant horizon

when the morning-stars fade and disappear.

Thank you

for the lost dreams

which fell and broke on my way

like clay-idols that I had to throw away.

Thank you

for the ever-green woods

that hums the sweet melody

heard somewhere and long-forgotten.

Thank you

for this path,

long and winding,

where the shadows are still dancing.

Thank you -

let me say finally

to all those who passed this way

before me -  thank you.
