People and places

PEOPLE AND PLACES

There are places I've been to,

There are scenes I have seen,

Time is never still and enough,

To go back to places I've been.

Sometimes I wonder,

Where are those kids I saw on the way,

I can never see them as they are miles away.

What about those faces I saw smiling?

Are they still happy in the lives they are living?

What about those I saw suffering?

Did their life change?

Did they find out their purpose of living?

What about the people I saw sitting alone,

Did they find someone?

Or still feel forlorn?

I cannot know, 

A bitter truth it remains,

To never see them and not to meet them again.

One can go back to those places they have been,

But cannot meet those people they have once seen.

When you travel and meet people, don't you wish to see them again? 

When you are on your way, don't you think about the people you have seen?

Do you long to go again to the places you've been?

You do.
"When you are on your way, don't you think about the people you have seen?
Do you long to go again to the places you've been?"
The good places we shall miss and the kind people also. We learn. Few true friends and few places we can call home. Thank you Najam for sharing the excellent poetry.

You are welcome my friend.

We often miss the things that mean the most in front of us...imagine if we could capture every moment?

[Najam Us Saher]

It would be great that way. Thank you so much.

[Abhishek Asthana]

it holds feelings of humanism and social values in it,, our life has become so hectic that we are unable to pay attention those thing... very well written...
keep writing

[Najam Us Saher]

And you have understood that exact meaning I wanted to convey. Thank you so much ☺

[Daphnee]

I LOVED THIS! Its so accurate! It holds such higher meaning then intended and that is very intelligent and beyond amazing. Like wow. To realize that others go on and have lives... to wonder if those you see are still the way they were. Its mind blowing. I can relate so well. We arent the center of the universe so to recognize those around us and know there is more is just flawless. Defintley my new fav poem. Seriously, you are amazing. Good job. Keep it up! Gonna read more of your stuff, you have sooo much potential but I can already see your the type to go over and beyond without even trying.

[Najam Us Saher]

When I finished reading your poem, I answered your question in my head. I love that it ends like that

[Najam Us Saher]

Thank you so much. I am glad that I made it questionable. ☺

This is a worrisome poem...You are really concerned about the people whom you once met, but you'll never be able to see them again. This often happens. I loved it!

[Najam Us Saher]

Yes....I am glad that you understood what I wanted to convey. Thank you so much ☺

[Zoya]

Beautful I love how I can visualize what you are saying in this piece, you tell of all the people you see and wonder where are they now? What are they feeling now? They are not easy questions but questions that certainly make you wonder.

[Najam Us Saher]

Yes....I am feeling truly happy to know that you have understood what I wanted to convey. Thank you so much ☺

[Taz]

You are most welcome.
