Felt like posting something, but couldn't write anything on my own. What better than An awesome poem, by the great Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, would do! Written in 1890 this master piece gives so much warmth when you read it...
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…In life after life, in age after age, forever.My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age-old pain,It's ancient tale of being apart or together.As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.At the heart of time, love of one for another.We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell-Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in youThe love of all man’s days both past and forever:Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours – And the songs of every poet past and forever.

Awesome lyrics ............. shame on me i did not get these lines before ...:)
I told you... the more you follow my writings, your knowledge will only grow :) Jokes apart, Rabindranath Tagore is a cut above most poets in our country. Anything from him is so darn good.
