Re: # 4
@pappu: Glad I could bring you some nice memories. For those who have passed away, I suppose we can always keep them alive through our memories and prayers, and in our hearts. At some level, I am sure it will matter and they will know about it.

Re: # 3
@Sanaullah: Thanks for your comments and appreciation. The analogy at the end with the ruins of an ancient altar is beautiful!

Thanks! Beautiful piece of art to nourish the heart!

Recently my second mother (mansi) esxpired. I was really foolish and lazy not attend when she was bed ridden. I truly loved her, but always felt what can I do if she has decided to give up the fight to live. I had this cruel attitude of what is the use of maudline expression of love. I was even mean in not attending the funeral. I guess the small and simple gestures of love are more important than so called "real" "intellect" driven help.

Thanks again Waqar!

Wonderful, very poetic indeed and dont get hurt by the senseless criticism of those who cant see and hear the timeless.

although the theme is not unique the expression is very creative, the first half before the entrance of the old lover was philosophical and the second like i said is poetic. The whole life of the dying lady is portrayed through a host of character and her success in fulfilling the duties of a faithful wife and loving mother was evident, yet the eternal love survives the passage of time like the ruins of an ancient altar.

Hi augmentin, things are left unclear on purpose to encourage the reader to think and look under the surface, and find their own meaning.
