Care Poem by Sachidananda Panda

I had never been alone
When you were there
I lived with my dreams
When you left
I live, with thy memories
Counting the steps trodden
Collecting Pebbles left along
Heeding their laughter and agonies
Making a garland out of all those
I put it on my neck, beads by beads
Sitting on the shore, I stretch my eyes
Beyond the horizon, across the streams

While recollecting the moments,
Blink, by blink
From behind the pale clouds
I often hear a call,
Some known whisper
Of southern breeze
That comes caressing to sit beside
Filling my ears…
Don't worry!
I was then and there too,
Am here as well
Always with you
because!
It's not just a relationship,
We shared
It was love, a promise,
Of an unconditional care
