Loss or Gain

Soumita Sarkar

This is not a phrase flowing out of trance

We don’t realize the sheer importance

Until we lose something ‘non-precious’

The status tag immediately changes

All of a sudden that thing dry and useless

Becomes valuable and absolutely flawless

Till time measures length and it’s weary way

We fail to produce a fondness or even a say

Once out of sight and out of palpable reach

We regain the worth and start to preach

Had we succumbed to a bit of sensitiveness

No need would’ve arouse to taste loneliness
