The bonfire






PHOTO PROMPT © Anshu Bhojnagarwala

The bonfire did nothing to keep me warm. I shivered. Two decades ago, the scene was 

different. We held hands, sang songs, danced to our own tunes. Life was good.

We did not realize that we were making memories for life. For me they were not always 

pleasant.

The frozen frames were dull with passage of time but the effect was vivid. I tossed the 

photos into the bonfire as they scattered with the wind to be engulfed by the tongues of 

raging fire.


Only ashes remained as residue. Tonight I will sleep soundly. My heart is light.
