The Heart Shaped Rock Poem by Ruskin Shrestha

By the beach of the winter night
I switch my feet against the sand
Cold, with the traces of ice
I walk with a heavy heart

And as I walk I hear the sound
The silent whisper of the clouds
That float above me in stranger bounds
Of tides that climb the distant grounds

I now kneel and seek through sand
For the heart shaped rock that I lost
Which for years, I'd treasured and kept
Which for years, I've been searching for

My fingers clenched, my knees restrained
The face of mine slams the ground
I open my eyes to see the sky
Glowing green, is it my reverie?

Or is it some sort of alchemy
That I'd heard of but never seen before?
At eternity a silhouette, a pendant, I behold
The heart shaped rock on her chain of gold.
