Faith Poem by Rasika Kalyanikar

I am standing still...
Dumbstruck...
You no longer are with me...
But you have to exist...
As long as i persist..
and even beyond my persistence....
Of course i am not infallible....
But there cant exist a world without you...
You are ineffable, subtle as water, vast as ocean...
I have been just me....for way too long
But I believe...
These days will flee...
They always do...
And so I am holding on to you!
Please turn your back...
But to face me..
Someday...somewhere...Down the lane
I know I would see you again! !
I was in turmoil
But now I am bustling with joy..no more in vile!
I was irresolute and unsure..but hope and faith
ripple out now!
I am emancipated...
Tranquility has embraced me..
with profound insight that,
WE WOULD WALK,
HAND IN HAND....
The universe will abide my stand....
