A Note to a Dear Friend

I received a note from a friend that says: Thanks a ton...for being in my life...u r precious. Luv Ambily


An affirmation to you my dear Ambily:

To you my friend
A witness of sudden silence
Tearing eyes
Of holding in arms my one.

To my friend
A witness of promise
Lay shattered
Like the grass scattered on granite floor

To my friend
Who walks through the scatter
Of glass pieces that shine the sun above
Letting the hair ruffle through

To my friend
Who comes home
To be in the arms of the one
Who is not home. Yet.

Not home here – a physical structure
But home to the heart
That aches for oneness
As I stretch my arms to reach the sky. Reach.

To smile through my pulsating heart
To hear your soft whisper
To smile again for nothing
To dream through misty eyes

To know, my one is but one
To let that one remain
In the wind of memory sweet
Allow nostalgia linger on the couch

To my friend
For all that is known
Sharing lives miracle of birth and death and birth again
Of living renewed, gathering the wonder of life.

Dearest,
You are part of my shrunken world - a world that has very few people in it, who live through my memory every day. You have been, for you know, that I have always thought of you to be a wonderful human being, who reflects love, joy, smile and will to live through the world's most difficult processes of life, giving, knowing, sharing and above all acknowledging.

The cycles of life and death, the toils of aches, pains, possessiveness and yet the wonder of sharing, loving, bestowing loving kindness to all around us is the grand wonder of the human mind – to expand our mind to the world, such that we embrace it in its beauty. In such a beautiful world – you are my miracle. Smile for the person that you are.

As much as I would love to speak to you often, I do know I converse with you, through the heart that speaks the unsaid. You remain in my mind, my heart and my soul, often to tell you that I am with you. Always.


Lavanya
