A Beautiful Soul

By Juhi Jain

And he waved his last goodbye, 

Somehow maintained a pleasant smile, 

Devoid of any emotions, his face like a clear sky, As if he never experienced pain in his life. 

The smell of his fragrance faded slowly; 

I showed disapproval by frowning. 

The longingness to be with him grew stronger day by day, But who has been able to stop the one who is going? 

Heaven was embellished that day, 

For a beautiful soul left the Earth. 

“Always be strong, come what may”- 

That’s what he used to say. 

He visited me today in my dreams; 

I felt his touch, his subtle skin. 

Although I was angry at him, 

But his presence made me forget everything. 

I miss him; I miss him a lot. 

But someone wanted him more than me: The God. He left; his memories will never. 

The grief of losing him will stay forever.
