OUR BOND

A river flows away miles from its origin,

But her connectivity with the hill remains intact,

Moonlight flies light-years and reaches the earth,

But her identity with the moon remains in fact.

Fruits do not lose its affiliations from the trees,

When they are plucked and kept in a basket.

The few liters of water you take from the Ganges,
Don’t lose its sacredness when kept in a pot.

Our kids grow and settle in distant cities,

Still their bond remains intact with their parents.

I am physically away from you today,

But I do not regard this as separation,

Because our souls are intertwined once for all,

In a bond of deep and divine affection.
