Reward Of Love Poem by Ritu Shah

The marks that the feet left
were washed off by the mighty waves
The sand looked like a flowery garden
as I took a step with his step

The breeze welcomed us with a brush of love
birds left us alone in our special world
The sea aroused an eternal thirst
Sun was calling upon a beautiful dusk

He hold me close to say nothing
my love wish was just about to complete
He moved my hairs off my face
I happily closed my eyes waiting

The water below felt cold
The warmth of his breathe gave a comfort
But then his hand started leaving mine
and i realized he was no longer standing close

Backwards were his steps moving
His hand stretched out and mine shaking
As the depth of the sea took over him
I froze, helping with nothing

Shocked and panicked as I opened my eyes
my hands reached for bed on his side
to realize its been empty since long
he has left me alone on this life's ride

I meet him in my dreams daily
I see his face in our sweet little baby
from the ugly nightmares as i wake up
our child reminds me of his sweet memories

He lives within my soul
He once took me on life's most beautiful roads
as our baby would learn to walk
i would revisit the life's course

When his small hands will hold my fingers
I know I'll be safe in his world
I'll take care of the beautiful reward he left for me
From behind the clouds, I know he is watching us...
