[ઊર્મિકાવ્ય – રંજના ની યાદમાં]
My recurring dream every night
It is the drench time again
Your honey voice singing
“Come home my love
The dark clouds
have conspired again,
It’s time to go for a drive
together one more time”.
I leap out of the bed
Groping my way in the night
Through flashes of lightning
Leading to nowhere
Run, run through the dark night
She is there somewhere
The dark night is over
The sun rises.
There I see her at
The lovely rainbow
In the morning
The earthy smell in the damp air
Look! Footsteps all the way
To the rainbow
Bye my love, she said
Across the sky
The enigmatic smile
Waving the dream away
Now you belong to
The kingdom of angels,
To the rainbow and beyond
To the cuddly clouds
To that mysterious heaven
Where there is no pain,
No tears, only eternal bliss
But close to my heart, soon
I long to be there with you
Seated next to you
Driving around in the buggy
Singing melodies unheard.
