Poem
Clearest of crystals, each of them a pearl, Like drops of dew on the lotus leaf in sunshine: You came into my life, filled it with joys unique And just as suddenly left me and went away. Abandoned me to face the crises of life alone Unaided by the wisecracks, the day’s mischief, The unprintable titles you gave to adversaries! I look for you in the stars, perhaps you are there I ask you why, why did you make me Feel so special and helped me rise above self pity And indulge dreams when we were all a bunch Of spoiled brats who couldn’t reach the heights In an atmosphere unfriendly and hostile to all. Why, why did you have to go away and drop out The rat race and leave me struggling with angst? And fighting misfortune. With you, I felt so secure. None would tear down the sand castles we built Nor remind us we were nuts. You gave us the vision And the opposition marched past like the king who wore The precious royal robe that none but the truthful could see; But, to his peril, a pair of naughty kids were not deceived. They shouted , “Our King is without his clothes today!” And the multitude confirmed, “His Majesty is naked!” The chant went round and the monarch ran for cover. Thus too most often our fancies held our heads high . We linked our arms and formed a circle of brave guys Fighting unseen hordes, our own self doubts and rants That impeded our advance yet made life worth living. We lived like kings defending our patch, our self esteem. I never thought I’d outlive them; the pain is hard to bear, The separation from long loved friends is hard to bear’ I long for the past that is all gone and quietly I tell them. Maybe you’re lucky, you left early and got the best seats. I’m fated to linger some more and wait for the Call. I still wish You were here and tell me I’m not alone!” That before the day is gone a golden chariot will arrive And bear me aloft to the heights we so vividly dreamed. I pray for you; that is all I can do for the hopes and support You gave me. Relax and enjoy your peace in heaven, You’re the real stars of my life, I’ll never be far from you. I shall always love you and honor you, my true friends.
