A Look-404 Poem by Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

A LOOK -404

You have one
who loves only you,
the way you wished
love to be shown.

Unfortunately, nothing stands on his side—
neither time nor wind.

Up against circumstances,
he silently waits in a corner,
wishing for you
a brighter and fulfilling tomorrow.

And somewhere within that silence,
he keeps lighting small lamps of hope,
praying the Almighty to see you
through the stormy sea and violent weather.
