Dedicated to the loving memory of Anil and Vimala
Shimmer, o’ seas! Break softly, my grief,
Constricting memories, bewitched and doomed,
Time, cruel master of all, stand still!
Hold my heart bespelled, bound tightly within.
Death¸ stealthy scavenger strikes deep,
Scything through treasured kith and kin.
Wistful heart, hurt no more; transform to stone!
Thy shell crackles softly, stoked in fires unknown
Bereft: life of cheer, words of meaning.
Glorious sun, shine dimmer now, be frugal and mean.
And you, moon! Glitter for happiness unfelt and unseen.
For life, and what could have been.
