A fond adieu

The Love…

 

Filling up completely

Then spilling over

Flowing, cascading

Torrential at times

Sometimes still

And then a gentle flow

 

From the bedrock of Being

The purity seeping in

The essence remaining

A loving, gentle glow

 

Though the physical may morph

The Love always is…

Flowing

Flowing

Flowing

 

As tears perchance

As laughter perhaps

As snippets of conversation recalled

As frames of pictures uncalled

As a favorite Diwali mithai

As handmade dresses in regular supply

As loving presence to continually multiply

As warm embraces unbounded

As video calls unplanned

As beliefs some unfounded

As discussions often ungrounded

As music and lyrics deciphered

As the gift of reading, (especially National Geographics!)

As curiosity to learn unfolding

As Love, in all its forms and expressions

Beyond thought, beyond impressions

 

Though the physical may morph

The Love always is…

Flowing

Flowing

Flowing
