Praveen Kumar

You came to us that day
To share our grief and joy of life;
Our hearts jumped and souls stirred
And made this world a very heaven;
Then we saw sheer joy in whatever we met.


Why you turned your back on us?
Why tracked back your path in haste
And let us sink in the gulf of grief?
We revolve around you in spite of all
And you do, we know, around us,
Waiting for the moment of meeting each other;
How long it would be, we know it not,
However long it be, we keep in wait;
Come soon and return our bygone days
Of joy and hope and unbound spirit;
Our hearts yearn, our souls wait
To take you in arms and hide in us;
Come, our darling, come dearest of all,
Blossom our hearts like never ever before.
