Nostalgic - The best is yet to come

Now that the routine's a bit slowed down
found some time to kick back a little
with the advent of monsoon 
inadvertently, returns
the reminiscent of the 'good' old days..

Were the 90s really been that long ago?
to be honest, it was nowhere near
the heavenly imagery
my head and heart conjure
it was the calm before the storm
that's the best way to describe them
the tender beginnings of anxious wonder
above all, a home to bittersweet memories
when home was heart, tiny and offline
holding names, countable on one's own fingers
and dreams, that at best be called fiction!

Was it better then than today?
the answer 's a variant
though undoubtedly it remains 
incomparable, rare experience 
unable to replicate, thus special
to those who lived then
to those who hold memories from then
because the storm is here and now
and those good old days
are the anchor that holds us up
patient, persevering, protecting
the names and dreams heart holds
the hope, the storm leads us to the shore

for the best is yet to come!
