Wait and Belief...

Eloping from mist and cloud

Of a ruthless stony fort,

I fly back to that green glade,

Where time has frozen for me.                  

You gave your heart, for me to keep;

And took my soul away.

Aware of the fate, my warrior seeks,

My Elfish heart still beats for you.

Abandoned by tears, captivated by grief;

Hope dancing on my window sill.

I wait for you to return for me,

And relive that day for eternity.

Pity by sun and remorse by moon,

Winds blow with mocked sympathy.

I regret not my choice, knowing you’ll return,

For love is more powerful than anything.

-VAISAKHI MISHRA
