they say you’ve gone,
why don’t i believe them?
they say you’ll never return.
why don’t i hear them?
is it ‘coz you tell me so each day?
is it ‘coz i know in my heart you forever stay?
they say i should be struck with grief.
why don’t i cry then?
they say it’s the greatest loss one can face.
why don’t i feel incomplete then?
is it ‘coz you tell me so each day?
is it ‘coz i know in my heart you forever stay?
it’s tough for them to fathom the depth of our love.
it’s tough for them to fathom the strength of our bond.
it’s just a narrow chasm that lies between life & death.
a distance too small to divide what we have.
only you & i truly know what we share.
the light of many lifetimes.
blinding us.
so that we can clearly see,
the wonder of being you & me.

Lovely poem, Anil; I love the first two strophes.
Love Steph
thanks steph :). glad you liked it – really believe in the words.

There is only unrelenting grieving when one does not understand or believe in the fact we never die. Our spirits and awareness continue on for eternity and we will all pass by each other again and again on our journey. So glad you have the bond you have. Your courage is the glue that holds it together Anil. Blessings….VK:)
amen VK. again, we are not doing anything. everything happening in our lives is happening because we are allowing it to happen. the strength & courage comes from all the love you guys have showered upon us. thank you so much for that. God bless & lots of love always…anil
Our loved ones will never fade away, they live on in our hearts, whisper to us though our souls, through the wind and the air. Until we meet them again 🙂
What a poem, Anil! I love it, simply love it 🙂
couldn’t agree with you more. and meet again we will :). thanks so much for being in our lives :).
