May 2016
Power supply goes off
And standby doesn't turn up
You start lingering

Whispering sweet things
More advanced than a Wi-Fi
You stay connected

Blessings in disguise
In this darkness, light so bright
You bring to my soul

Simple beginnings
Forever remain afresh
So gentle and mild

Only those two words
"Hi there" written on a card
Came from you through post

Those days I wasn’t
A bard - that was in the year
Nineteen eighty nine

Delighted I was
Didn’t know how to express my
elated feelings

Now in this darkness
You hold the torch - I cant write
Doth feelings endorse
