Healing Poem by Savita Tyagi

Heart still cries!
Time may be called the biggest healer
Yet grief doesn't abide with time limits.
In a sudden downpour it lashes out,
Tears swell, and pain pervades
The each breath that I take.

Wandering in the valley of grief
Mind sets its dwelling time.
In the hours of solitude
Merciless it tortures the heart,
Like a cruel nightmare
Out from abyss circling the darkness!

A sweet dream like a ray of sunshine
Comes to rescue……
Memories of good times linger
A protective shield to hold on to…
At the depth of my heart
Pain and pleasure move
Side by side
Tiny fishes floating under surface water!

Like a blossoming bud
Struck by a sudden ice storm
Is the story of joy-
Next to the story of sorrow
Being swept by fragrant spring breeze!
