Plant Of Memories

When you live,

You live on the ground.

When you leave,

You live in the sky.

So I look up at the sky,

To know where you went.

No, you can’t be a star,

As your lights bound no limits.

Not a moon either,

As your shine is by you.

You could’ve been a sun,

But your warmness soothes, not burns.

But you shine like a star.

Guides like a moon,

Stays like a sun.

Where you are?

I searched everywhere, and get defeated.

At last, I sigh, wry and cry.

In my tears, your face shines.

Then I realise,

You gave me a plant of memories,

To cherish, to nurture, to care.

I plant in soul soil,

To water the roots deep within me,

And to be with you-- forever.
