The Lonely Duet




Standing at the Crossroad… for a sign
I heard you singing, distant some where
The song was not unknown

The one we had sung last

I tried to sing along

I took the lonely path, we’d once thought of taking

In search of the signs, you’d left

The duet was soulful…

Rustling of leaves had stopped

Perhaps birds were praising in silence

And the autumn was there so soon

Trees were off their glory

Birds were baring their souls

I was lost in the song

And it was not a duet anymore

Below the horizon, hopes sank with sun

The moon & the stars promised for a journey

But something was amiss midst of the long night

I wished to cry aloud… but I was not alone

And the tears were frozen, to flow in silence

Perhaps it was spring in the other world
Trees were green & blooming
Birds had found their love
And I was lonely… so hollow inside
But…I kept on singing, pretending the duet

I’ve lost all the signs, you’d left
And of the long stride, I came along
Its dark & I’m blue…without you

I’m not hearing you anymore
I’m still singing, pretending the duet

How can I pretend so long?
I complained to God, for an answer
I kneeled and prayed in silence… to hear
I heard you singing… closer than ever
He deceived me …& the unspokens to decipher again
