A SONG TO REMEMBER
I waited
into the stillness of the night,
Until dawn
came and covered me with a mantle of golden light
It washed
away all my wishes and hopes
Along
with a hundred things I wanted to confide.
I walked and
walked for miles.
In
vain; the thoughts slithered in
Every
moment, every memory-
Flashed
across my mind.
Those were
the days...
A
song, amidst the cacophony of life's beats
I thought, I
was a master and none I paid heed
Until one
day...
A Captain, I
met at the bay,
Wispy and
frail...
Many a
treacherous path I tread under his mighty gaze
There were
battles fought and storms survived
There were
moments of triumph and despair
Events to
cast one's fear aside
Sometimes
dark clouds lurked the sky
In the
perils the Captain oft stood
Swiftly
sailing us to a harbour safe
And then one
day, the hull came floating by
Alas! But
the Captain...
Your
thoughts knew no wrong.
Your words
wise and strong
In
goodness you shone
I confess, I
was my best when you were around
Seasons
rolled and my song was complete.
A song now
forbidden to splendor's delight
I reach my
doorway, reminiscing the days gone by
Weary eyes
seek you in the horizons bright
A gentle
breeze ruffles my hair.
Tears
dribble
It hurts
that you are gone
Yet another
day, when hopes were wilted and wishes died
A storm
again gathers under the red sky.
It's not
long before I sleep
Oh, Captain!
I want you to know
Where ever
you are, you will always be thought of lovingly.
