A Wish to RIP

Grandma,

Where are you at?

Where did you fade away

whilst, I was away for work?

I am eager to catch up,

for all the lost times.

I yearn for those evenings,

those heart-to-heart dialogues,

and  
the unraveling

complications.

Those tender emotions,

assured 

your motherly affection 
for me.

The sparkle of your eyes,  
your welcoming smile,

still lingers on.

 You calling out my name

still echoes within,

Am longing to hear you out

One more time,
 one last time..

Will this wish be granted..?

The waterspout, the roar,

the lightening,

Is the weather out there,

in harmony with my spirit?

Are these the manifestations

Of  my turbulent mind?

Am tired.

I am so lost.

All I can see is blurred.

I wanna rest on your lap,

gaze at your smiling face,

to soothe my troubled mind.

Take me along with,

Oh, Grandma,

To your abode

Where I can

Rest-in-peace.
