I Know

You did go, I know

I saw you wave goodbye

Then leap into the sky

My eyes were closed, yet

I know you left, you did go

They brought you home

Quiet, I saw I cried 

I saw you rise into the air

Burning on that sandalwood 

I am sure you left, you did go

I see you everyday

In the blue sky waving 

In the raindrops smiling

I hear you whisper our songs

And so I know you didn't go! 

The Clouds

Playing hide & seek with the sun

Across the evening sky they float

A grey and white medley in cotton

Damsels dancing on a blue road

I watch them move gently past

Wondering if they will come across

The ones I have loved and lost

In this life's wretched course

Have the clouds ever moved you

Swimming in the blue grey expanse

Wishing upon them to take my soul

To see them by happenstance

Loss

Loss

It's buried deep, the loss

But the thorn still bristles

When memory chooses

To bring it back to me

On days such as this

When all that is lost

Decides to be found 

And Jolts my numb soul

The loss surfaces and

My wounds open up

The tears are dried up

A flood drowns me within
