An old couple sat on a bench in a park
Side by side but a little apart
The sun's slanting afternoon rays
Glistened on their silver heads
The man was lost in a book he was reading
His walking stick by his side lying
The woman was lost in a world of her own
Looking at a child playing alone
No words passed between them as they sat
Save for an occasional smile and an exchange of glance
They sat till the light faded on the west
And the birds twittering returned to their nests
Though they are engaged in different activities, their bonding of love is intact as they sitting together and enjoying mutually agreed activities.. loved your poem
