Simple meals and simpler dreams

Flowing its course, the river sung her song

Teasing and brushing vegetation along...

One normal day, the sky sprinkled its dews

And the river hugged them within

Soon, the sky roared in pouring 

And she hugged them all within

No time teasing vegetation, she was

busy caressing the tortured drops…

His home was a song, lilting lilac love

Simple meals and simpler dreams he lived;

One normal day, she walked in crying

He held her palms and heard her saga  

Soon, she shifted base for support

And his life became her crutches

Jilted once, she lost reason to live

He kept aside his life to see her smile...

Days later, the mighty sky settled its core

She turned to see the drops within

They were gone... wondering

why they didn't wait for her

she continued flowing, when

the vegetation tickled her sides

Flowing its course, the river sung her song

Teasing and brushing vegetation along!

Months later, his now best buddy

flew out and returned with rejuvenated dreams 

He looked within… yet silently helped her soar,

one day she flew out again; he waited for a call...

Two years later, she knocked at his door

'I need your help'... he heard her out

He cleared her hurdles and waited for a call...

Months later, she knocked yet again

Simple meals and simpler dreams he yearned

Flowing his course, like the river singing her song!
