Where the sky meets the earth | Poem

Well, pictures tell a story! Yes, that's true.
On my recent Goa trip, I clicked the picture below and the rest was easy.


Amidst the palms, and their fronds
a pair of eyes looked beyond,
casting away the lengthy trunks, 
the sweetness of the fruits attached,
to accomplish a mission of their own,
those eyes, simply, looked beyond.

The winds, swaying the thick fronds
carried the vision of those eyes across,
towards the destined isolation:
as the sole witness to a rendezvous
kept by the Sky and the Earth.

At a far and distant place,
did they decide to meet;
away from palms, and their fruits
away from life, and the living,
in the stillness of the infinite,
followed by those eyes.


Intoxicated with peace,
with love they drink the beauty:
the meeting of two distant lovers.
At a distance, 
so great, to be reached;
so long, to have traveled;
so difficult, to have endured;
by anybody, save those lovers
and those eyes,
seeking love.
