“Hope” by Nikhil Narayanasa

Picture Credit: Sparsh Chugh

I’m a lone sailor in the waters
You have been the wind
To raise my sails up
And then rip me apart

You pick me up from the sea
Threw me into sands
Making me thirsty and starving
​
While I plead,
You seem like an oasis
But when I seek for your help
You become a mirage 

You are farther than Sun
Farther than the stars
Yet, seems nearer than the moon 
In my dream
You kept me going.
Until my last breath
Until ever after...
