Immortalized
She waited all day long for the evening ray.
Trees were all barren, weather of a colder day.
She finished reading the letter, kissed it, lovingly, much
Some words never get old, so full of life those are, such.
Then, sunlight was melting down with a magnificent setting hue
It was time for the prayer of dusk, to lift up the souls, spirited, true.
“Departing is not death, nor it could separate human souls for good
Cherish the moment, allow life along the happening way as it should.”
She memorized his each and every word, she remembered them all
She understood him, and his words calmed her down, soft and gentle.
She wrote her words in reply, in tears and love, beneath a slowly setting sun
“Never be a stranger to me, never get used to of my absence, in life’s long run.”
He kept his word, till the very last, before a gunshot penalized him, fatally
His disfigured body was lying under a barren tree, with a ruthless vulnerability.
She was handed the letter,she found it to be whittled down to a line, singularized
“I will return to you,” a wrinkled page had his deep longing for her, immortalized.
