In My Mind Forever
IN MY MIND FOREVER
Looking at the perennially full river,
Its water not stopping to flow ever
I remembered the age-old saying,
A truth, the true friends are forever.
Ages ago on the summer dusk we had met
On the river front, the sun was sinking to set,
I saw trust flow in colors in your intense eyes,
Knew, its lasting hues our friendship would get.
Way out of distress in dark times I didn’t find,
I found you like my second shadow right behind,
Your supporting hands strongly clasping mine,
Guided me to light, I followed you like a blind.
The sky fell, I was buried in the ruins of sorrow,
How to rise from debris of destiny I didn’t know.
You came to my wreck floating like a butterfly,
I learned to fly on the wings I could then grow.
The full moon made the water molten silver,
I saw the joy of life flow with it in the river,
We swam together till dawn under starry sky.
You’d be by my side, in my mind forever.
