Good Friend Poem

Sometimes a voice, a conversation leaves a lasting impression on the mind. I answer hundreds of queries over the phone in my normal working day but something in her voice made a connection. Something in her voice made me want to continue the conversation. Something made me want to get to know her, and we continued to talk. Somehow, the fact that we hadn't met didn't matter, and today I know she felt the same. Today we are the best of friends. Today we share our lives !!

A Moment? A Memory? ..Or A Beginning?

© Rani Bajaj
It was a routine call, a routine day.
The voice was urgent, the query genuine,
I answered, at length.
A pleasant conversation, a pleasant moment.
It passed.
The name registered,
The moment stacked away in the recesses of mind.

It resurfaced with a plea for assistance,
The response was immediate, the connection struck.
Words followed, thoughts flowed,
But strangers we remained, unseen, unmet.

Why is it that when she says,“Take care”,
I feel she means it from her heart.
Why is it that when she says, "I was thinking about you”,
I realize I was doing the same.
Why is it that when she says “Good Morning”,
The sun suddenly peeps out on a foggy winter day.

Strange are the ways of Friendship.
Strange are the strings that tug at the heart.

Do I need a face to the voice?
Does she?
Can anything be more beautiful?
Need anything be?

Only time will tell,
So let the time tell.
'Till then let the moment be cherished,
'Till then let the moments make memories.
