What will happen?

                                          IIT Kanpur- 35th year reunion for class-of-77

What will happen

If I sat on a mountain

With eyes closed

And screamed,

If I floated, or sank

In winters, in summers

Under a flowing stream,

If I thought of you

Or didn’t;

If I took care

To be different

Or lived like everyone,

If I left behind a treasure

Or chose to be poor,

If my tales were heard

If I had lied or remained truthful,

If I found happiness

Or stayed, without;  

The sun will rise

Red, round and bright,

The children will gather

The brides will dress

The music will play

For the families to hear

When they have supper together

And I will miss,

Being there.
