A Chuai Zo Ta

~Lalchhuanmawia Tochhawng

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding

with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on

 our hearts, and we are never ever the same.
