Battle it Out

A poem of struggles, hope and yearning, by Subramanian, exclusively for Different Truths.

I yearn for those days of winter-laden
November when we had the cold blanket 
of cares and joys, faced them as one 
until the malicious genie struck.    
 
I yearn for those days when we  
soothed our dear kin at home  
or abroad with a lasting breath of love... 
Until words froze in a vacuum.   
 
 
I yearn for those days when eye  
could see a mate, lips widened into  
a smile and hands folded in warmth  
Until walled in a self-made cocoon.   
 
 
Never in the remote corner of mind  
did we even fancy or foresee a day  
when kith were forced to warn its kin 
And feel, to be forewarned is forearmed.   
 
 
This day too will pass into the annals  
that tell tales of fortitude and pluck,  
straddling the seas and the cosmos.
The enduring breath ever prevails.
