Love

My love, O dear, isn’t confined to you alone You are mortal and my love immortal My undying love goes beyond horizons I love the moon that gives me moonlit nights I love the stars that are woven in the sky I love the sun that brightens my days I love mighty oceans and fathomless seas I love mountains, embodiment of height and strength I love the village where my mother lives And its earth the custodian of my ancestors’ bones I love rains that brings crops, fruits and flowers I love music and rhythm of dancer’s Payal I am a born lover, my love knows no bounds It traverses the earth and scales gigantic skies To reach the Throne of the Creator, the God!
