Waiting Your Coming

By @ Russel Biswas(রাসে™) Me...

Waiting
your arrival, sleep had eluded my
tired eyes! Like a traveler I have
been traveling down the sunlit
road
with cool breeze caressing my
body,
while my hands caressed those
white
bearded tall reed grass without
trying to tear them apart, - all in
expectation of your coming one
day!
I
have followed the winding wood
cutter's trail through the deep
forest
losing my path of return,.....when
my
feet appeared to have got
stuck, ...
in
expectation your coming, was it in
vain? I have gone running after
the
singing hermit picking up his song
and tune, waiting your arrival did
you
know? The little children mocked
me
calling me names, saying I was
mad!
But that did not discourage me in
the
least, for I remained optimistic !
The
sound of the river's flow, could
not
drown the musical footsteps of
your
coming - must know! I had walked
till
the horizon where the sky kisses
the
ocean below, in expectation of
your
coming, did you know?! Now, I
stare
at the setting sun in the eve of
my
life, and see the flaming sun
swallowed up by the vast expanse
of
the ocean below! I ask no
questions,
but keep moving ahead, motivated
by
an inner urge! For I never wanted
to
be like the high flying eagle trying
to
soar up to my haven, ... you must
know! While I keep hoping and
expecting your arrival to this day,
since you had promised me that
you
will come one day!
