The You that was

Like a feather, flaky and light, Suspended in the air against the golden hue---- With blades of lemon grass beneath, tall and sharp You burst forth in my mind, Spilling colors of ecstasy In the aching heart. Like a story untold, unwritten, unsung--- You stream a melody of once upon a time. A glimpse of you, splash liquid delight. And send thousands of glowworms in the garden of dreams. No matter where you are, however, you shine, I still have you, who once was mine.

The thought of a loved one, though gone out of sight will keep haunting us. Just one glimpse of that person is enough to light several diyas of light in us. Beautifully written.
