Whenever you come to my mind
my verses, converting to songs
start flowing towards you.
During the infinite distance
between your center and my perimeter;
I feel, a continuous river of faith

two banks accompany each other
for a period perpetual.
By growing entire waves of reminiscence,
I, a fellow traveler of the same period
will keep waiting for the
melody of your song
right at the same river … unbrokenly …
