Solace

When you are home today

Find some time for your moments with silence

Find a window to stand by

Find an empty distance to send your eyes to

Find your thoughts that will follow that glance

And take you to those past times

Your heart may become heavy,

Your eyes may get welled up,

Your thoughts may take you farther

Down the memory lanes

And back to the present,

Where reality looms larger

With a void unfilled forever.

Hamper not those thoughts,

Hold not your sigh,

Wipe not your tears,

Let them be.

Let those moments pass by,

Let your mind be washed down,

Slowly you feel the solace,

Your heart settling lighter,

Your thoughts getting calmer,

Your inner self coming to terms

With the present that remains,

But, feeling still closer to the one who has departed.
