“Mum, where’s daddy? When
is he gonna back?”
Piu asks her mum.
Soni’s hands get numb,
Her lips twitch, she can’t find words to react.
Her daughter just wants to know
Where did her father go!
“He’ll come back, he’ll be here tomorrow!”
Soni murmurs choking down her sorrow.
Little Piu shuts her eyes with a smile of belief
Nothing to worry,
Her mother's with her – her beatific fairy!
Soni tucks her in, sees her off to the world of sleep!
How would she tell her daughter
She will never see her father
Far away to a Neverland, he’s gone!
Leaving them alone!
Soni comes out to the balcony
Moon's shining bright
freckling the dozy night!
Every night she gazes up at the sky!
Her languid eyes sways around, don't know why!
She only looks for that one special star, that she saw earlier,
that brights...the brightest, that dazzles above all,
that brings up that ineffable love, she once knew,
"Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel it's you!"
Her priceless tears, waft away far light-years.
That star rose up high again with that call
Cascades an incandescence over Soni!
"You'll be always loved" - An echo absorbs in all her agony!!!
