The Search…

The Search…

I woke up, with you not being in my sight,
Panicked I hustled down the stairs,
Into your room to see if you were resting there,
Empty were the corners that once sounded of enchanting tunes.
I hurried to the temple of the house,
Hoping to see the devotee and the deity,
But only I found the deity dancing to the tune of our fate.
Maybe out in the meadows, where you taught me key lessons of life,
But just the cold breeze and the frozen ground.
Tired after all the hustle and restless after a limitless search.
I closed my eyes to catch a quick break.
A deep sigh, and there you were!
In my memories, fonder together,
In my soul, a part of you and your kindness,
And in my deeds, your legacy of good deeds prevails…
