Solitude

I wanted to lie down on the grass idly and look at the clouds today with the wind caressing my hair It felt just like a day long back when I had walked alone through a thick fog that divided for me the visible and the invisible. And then you had come along lifted that fog layer by layer held my hand our fingers intertwined spreading your warmth seeping into my soul getting closer every time. The wind grew fierce carried us to parallel universes releasing only to watch the stars above on that quiet night when we had gazed deep inside the paradise poured out our hearts through that mist-covered forest Today my solitude felt pious for me Today my solitude smiled for you.
