Remembering my child, Rukmai

Dear Rukmai, not a day or night goes by
without your thoughts in my mind where they lie;

So although this is nothing new,
today specially I think of you!

This day, two years ago, you chose to leave us,
without as much as a last word or any other fuss!

Hope was all that we had till the end
but you chose to vanish around the bend!

The mind is heavy and bent down with those scenes,
the effort has been on to pacify it by some means;

It’s tough to teach and train the mind,
to cope with the vacuum of such a kind;

We know you’re watching us in silence,
at times we sense a strange sort of guidance!

We live by your memories that we nurture,
those should sustain us until our departure.

–Sandhya Vasudev

  3. So true, Sandhyakka. Rukma is there at a much better place, watching over you and guiding you from a vantage point.
