Solitude

I wanted to lie down,

On the grass idly,

And look at the clouds today,

The wind caressing my hair.

It felt just like a day-long back,

When I had walked alone,

Through a thick fog,

That divided for me,

The visible and the invisible.

And then you had come along,

Lifted that fog layer by layer,

Held my hand,

Our fingers intertwined,

Spreading your warmth,

Getting closer every time.

The wind grew fierce,

Releasing only to watch,

The stars above,

In that quiet night,

When we had gazed,

Deep into the eyes,

Poured out our hearts,

Through a mist-covered forest.

Today my solitude

Felt pious for me.

Today my solitude

Smiled for you.
