60. Recollections Poem by Praveen Kumar in Simply Yours

You are still beautiful, you are still bountiful
In evocating thoughts, gentle and noble;
You are still inspiring, you are still enduring
In my grateful soul, you comforted years long.

Barriers of time or barriers of distance
Withered not feelings, our hearts squeezed to splice,
Weathering of life and fortuitous zigzag turns
Torn not bonds, our lives earnestly have sewn.

In the darkness of lonely life, you are my lodestar,
You breakout from the self, spread sparkles of the hope;
In the maelstrom of rush and brush, you, my diligent protector,
Leash-in me to circumspection; guide me, step by step.

Your intense kind eyes, penetrating time's layers,
Rouse my vigil for the righteous course here,
Your yearning intense soul, reaching thro' love's features,
Awakens my spirit to love's rousing pleasures.

Thro' moon and clouds and birds and stars,
We build our bridges across thousand worlds
To reach each other in breach of rigid natures,
For, beyond the earthly bounds, stalks the love's gentle moulds.

The gentle sweet streams, you prod in recollections,
Of hopes and daydreams, live creeps of confidence,
Of fulfilling intense past and prospective league again,
Make life a vaulting heaven, this world, a joy's holy shrine.
