Indelible Impressions !!

Nobody knows the faces a lifetime passes through.
Or the myriad faces of the many lives that we may live through.
Like a wave, countless faces pass by but impressions are imparted only by some.
There are faces within a face that may penetrate unconsciously without being reckoned.
A face which enlightened a speck of one's life, may mysteriously vanish in the other.
And a  face that once intensified the beat of your heart may become a blurring monotone.
 
Then there may be a face that may have skipped the beat of your heart and may still provide a sound punch whenever it resurfaces.
And there may be a face that may surface for a while but stamp an indelible imprint in the deepest core of your mind.
There may be a face that may recall a bygone era,
And there may be a face that may erase the essence of time.
Some faces seem to be part of you for more than a lifetime and some exist for a lifetime without a trace.
Is  every destined face that we reckon lived by us through in some lifetime,
With installments distributed in the lives to be lived.

Is the specter of destiny responsible for the faces that a life passes through?
With a particular face destined to be seen a particular number of times.
But the impression it creates may decide its destiny in the other lives that we may live.

Is there a logic behind the embracing of a particular face
or is it that certain faces are meant to be embraced.
What is the symbolism behind these meeting of faces?
Is it meant in a way to repeat itself infinitely to loose its essence
To know that this meeting is also a play of the illusion called ‘life’.

  1. one can feel a sense of detachment, something akin to the bauls of bengal (singing minstrels who live and thrive on folk music)...illusion of life..
