Wish

As she saw a falling star 

She asked, "Let's make a wish" 

He was reluctant as he said, 

I don't believe in all this.

Standing inside a temple,

She said, "Atleast fold your hands" 

These statues don't talk 

And have no power, he said. 

She knew he was an agnostic 

As falling stars didn't excite him.

She knew he was an atheist

As he had no belief in supreme power.

But, deep inside his heart 

Love was getting nurtured.

His whole world was in Her

Be it a star or the Almighty.

So, standing behind her,

He closed his eyes seeing the star.

Without being noticed,

He even folded his hands.

Just to make a wish 

A wish to see her smiling everyday.

A wish to hold her hands 

And walk for the whole life.

His only wish,

To start the journey along with her 

And close these eyes together.
