Nothing Remains Poem by Valsa George
Nothing Remains
Nothing Remains
Of a life lived together
When the world, to us, was full of beauty
Nothing remains
Of those lovely evenings,
We rambled along the quiet country paths
Nothing remains of the twilight dusks
We listened to the invisible choir
Singing for us in the descending dark
Nothing remains
Of the whirlwind of love
When we rocked in gyrating motion
Nothing remains
Of those blissful nights
We slept in each other’s warm embrace
Nothing remains
Of the sweat we shed
To make a nest n’ feed our fledglings
Nothing remains
Of our stay in that cottage
Fringed with a quiet flowing river
Nothing remains
Of the time tarried in anticipation
Of our birdies returning to our nest
Nothing remains
Of the times we dreamt
Of magic kingdoms beyond our hills
Nothing remains of those days
When existence was but a lovely dream
And from joy to joy uninterrupted we flew
Nothing remains
As the lid of the coffin shut
And my Love wheeled on a hearse!
How quickly life slid off its track
To immeasurable distances n’ spaces
Landing me in an abyssal pit
How a winter of benumbing snow
Has nudged its way
Into every crack and cranny of my life
Now, I live a phantom under this roof
With awful memories barging in
Like the marauding thieves!
How I search in vain
For those footprints, you have left
In the weed grown paths of my life
How I long to wash away
My grief in a surge of tears
Trickling down my eyes
But Alas!
I cannot cry
My eyes are dry!

Nothing remains...... the grieving widow`s reminiscences have a desperate look and she dives flat into the mire of her seclusion and despondency. But she has to search and find Those footprints, he has once left In the weed grown paths of her life left dry As those prints have crushed many a weed down To show the way to his dear not departed till his last breath. Sorry, Madam I could not read this poem till Feb 8.
