Who was she

And why did she choose me in that infinite space

As I muled over the sagas of life

It took me a while to realise her presence beside me

We both watched the light dwindling in the horizon in pregnant silence

Both enveloped in personal chaos

I could hear her sobbing

Against the roar of the waves

I reached out for her hand

And comforted

And we sat on the beach for hours

As the stars glittered in our eyes

As the moon illuminated our thoughts

And the zephyr comforted our being

We sat till the vibe of the birds lifted our spirits

And then parted our ways

Strangers.
