The Void

Now that night has descended,

the heart ventures out into the quiet of the night.
Though not physically present,
you remain engraved in a ray of our love.

An image I carry with me now,

It's like a memory of stars..
which are shining up in the sky,
weaving us bonds, as I am saying my farewells.

These tears may rain as hard as the raindrops

break into streams, but they would eventually vanish.
The essential love is found in our hearts
Which only the soft touch can feel.

And through the seasons,

to the rhythm of their dance,
we feel you softly.
A whisper in the wind, a power of holding,
Though you have traversed everything,
thus banishing the wretchedness of evil.

The spirit you have is with you,

a joyful guide.
At the time of remembrance,
blossoming flowers in the garden,
For each petal, a token of divine love in your heart.

Despite betrayed by the course of life’s cruelties,

Your identity grows stronger and remains eternal.
As the light brightens,
And so the time we spent together will become our treasure.

Whereas love is greater than the worldly plane,

However, you've parted with the astrals,
but without life's hardships.
In our hearts, your memories will forever shelter my life.
