Horizon
She ruefully commented, “Dreams are for the night
At daytime, they vanish in the light
Night and day cannot stay together
There are many storms which we have to weather.”
So saying, she looked depressed
All her hopes of living with me dashed
I answered
She, listening to every word
“But some dreams do become reality
At least, once in a while
The thing is-
“Are you prepared to walk the extra mile?”
Her big, beautiful eyes brightened
She tried to make amends
“My love can make me wait for you eternally
But my heart seems to be somewhat in a hurry.”
The sky blushed red
As I pointed to her and said,
“Look, there at the horizon
Same with us
One day, two lives will become one
And that also forever and ever
Just have faith in yourself
And have faith in your lover.”
She rested her head
On my broad shoulders
Sitting there amidst the boulders
Both engrossed watching the earth embracing
Leaving both of us aflutter, pulse and heart racing……..
