So Long My Blind Friend....[Malathie Kalpana Ambrose]


So Long My Blind Friend....

[Written for the World White Cane Day-(2009-10-15)]

Kneeling and worshipping
Seeking her blessings
You may have mouthed
“I will be back soon mom...”
On the day you left home

To wander up the path
Over whelmed with heartaches
Countless sicknesses
Feeding on nothing
But sorrows and tears
So many around you
Mending constantly
The fragile cloth of life
Friendly and not so friendly
May have guided you
The 'one who could not see'

But they sure did not know
That your world of darkness
Is brighter than the full moon
Even without a tiny spark
Of a wandering firefly
Because of all the roses
Void of any thorns

Wandering around
Feeling the surface
Failing to understand
The vast book of life
We may part in a moment
Your distinct murmur
Saying me good byes

No my friend
Since we have touched
And we saw each others hearts no...
I cannot say my good byes
Neither can I
Let you leave
Leaving empty...
my aching heart..!
