Last night I woke up, as usual sad!
The moon was nowhere in the sky. nor was the sun.
Restless with the knowledge of the fact that you were gone forever
my fingers wishfully caressed the pillow.
Your absence could not be erased.
It slept with me and woke up with me, walked
with me like a silent shadow.
The air was still; nothing breathed.
I went back to sleep in those early unearthly hours of dawn.
I owe you a debt of unredeemed loss.
Your last complaint was to the doctor.
You said in a faltering tone that you were not able to communicate.
You were flitting in and out of the two dimensions and nobody knew.
Last night I yearned to see you in flesh and blood;
to see your sanguine spirit and body,
to touch your resurrected spirit,
to let you speak the words which you struggled to speak.
I went back to sleep
and woke up again in a lucid dream.
You stood by the bedside,
serene, yet restless in a subtle way.
Astonished, I kept looking at you.
You looked back in silence but did not speak
