A Tribute To My Late Wife Shashi

A short Poem as 
A Tribute to My Lost Wife.


Countless voices and memories 

May get foggy or dim  

By the flow of time stream, 

But where do they get erased, 

From the continuous petals of mind, 

What to say of friends, even life partners, 

Get lost, while walking on the path of life, 

But, their images and figures,  

On the petals of mind,   

Continue to spread their fragrance,  

Till we breath and live in this world, 

To inspires us to fight, the darkness all around 

To support those, who are losing courage and hopes 

This is the mantra of life 

I got it from my lost loved ones and  

from my lost wife Shashi.  

 . 

Even if, rocks become obstacles,  

To destroy into pieces,  

All the bright figures and shapes,  

Want to lay rope to bind, 

To bind the stream of art and writing,  

Which has immense power and force, 

But where has anyone stopped 

The flow and current of a powerful river  

Or has closed in his fist 

The beautiful fragrance flowing in the air.

Sorry for your loss. I have lost parents and brothers, but I am sure the loss of one's mate is very difficult and painful emotionally. I hope your healing is coming along as time passes. It gradually gets better with time, at least, with the loss of my parents, but I think about them every day. Thanks for sharing this one with us and dropping by my page. Sara K
