Reflections Poem by Jay P Narain

Ebbs and tides in the lake,
conncentric and oscillating waves beating the shores,
reflections and thoughts of my heart,
emanating and dissipating in the universe.

When I peek in the concentric eddies,
I see the reflection of my memories,
Inscribed in each wavelet is some fond happening,
expanding wave and impatient time fades away,
the fondness which I want to keep on lingering.

I find you in the reflections,
smiling behind me on my shoulders,
this is a sight I want to behold for ever,
only to find it moving further and further forever.

I fondly remember playing in the shallow water,
the splashes we threw at each other cleansed our love for each other,
the eddies came and touched our feet and souls,
only to move away with a disheartened look.
