Ruskin Bond has penned some truly memorable and heartfelt poems.

Sharing one of his poems here, “It isn’t time that’s passing” - 

Remember the long ago when we lay together

In a pain of tenderness and counted

Our dreams: long summer afternoons

When the whistling-thrush released

A deep sweet secret on the trembling air:

Blackbird on the wing, bird of the forest shadows,

Black rose in the long ago summer,

This was your song:

It isn’t time that’s passing by,

It is you and I.
