Lonliness-Fourth Year Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Loneliness-Fourth year
Sunday,25th July 2021

It shall soon be the fourth year
the mind thinks more about your absence here
not a day passes without your being in the mind
just to find that you are not around

what did you do all these years?
union near completion sans fears
joy all around and in abundance found
the years all went making merry round

life has meaning and purpose
you chose to be
simple and obedient housewife
facing torn strife yet confident

what else do you need in life's journey!
wife, kids and a happy ending
yet, it creates a vacuum
when there prevails silence and mum

the brick walls observe silence
create a void and make mind tense
with the gone moments
and present a solitary situation

let her be peaceful in heaven
and I live in this earthly beautiful scene
keeping in mind and memorizing
living and spending time each morning and evening

neither regretting her departure
nor shall be sure for me
it is a lovely occasion
to come on this earthly heaven and maintain the relation
