The shining side

Shining side

Monday,3rd November 2018

 

Never a question

but I must mention

It happened in love's relation

much to our happiness and elation

 

Even though with lot many dissimilarities

we had our own identity

you stood for simplicity

and I stood for complete integrity

 

I asked nothing in return

She spoke nothing at her turn

we both silently agreed

to keep aside our ego and greed

 

we never looked back thereafter

it was a real bond that continued later

never a disagreement or murmurs

you were always there

 

I look back at those happy days

what were other divine ways!

we pursued exactly the same

Life was pure and free from the blame

 

even if she is not among us

she was the symbol of trust

that kept my inner light burning

and took me to the side of shining
