Unflinchingly Besides!

Warmness of his Love

In this August sky...

His Vanilla infused fragrance...

That fills me with life.

His touch to my skin

As I heave to breathe

Wondering do lives like mine matter...

Or are we forgotten pages of a tattered old book...That one no longer reads...

I've spoken about pain innumerable times...Yet he Alone has felt it's grip,

Where words from my heart break into rhymes...

For to know what bodies like mine...

In pain undergo...

You'll but need to silence all of thy thoughts that in judgments float!

For we are one body!

As he waits besides &

"Simply Let's me Be!"

When Pain breaks open through my eyes, pores & skin

It is He Alone who lets me know!

He's heard my cry...

As I had once read - "When you're all you have, remember, your angels always watching over you"

But mine knew, it wasn't enough to look over me from the distant sky,

Hence he gave up his wings...

To unflinchingly be besides!

As Hope to ignite my spirit through these dark-dark nights

.

Since last few days, once again, my health has been spiralling downwards leaving me quieter,

as its difficult to breathe.

Once while I was sleeping on the sofa all fatigued, he made his way up & snugged right in between, laying his head on my chest, listening to my heart beat, as I was unable to speak.

And just last night, when it felt all hope is crushed & as I try to make sense of why am I here,

he silently waited besides me till 1am... When you've lived for long through some chronic pain, days, nights all seem same,

Yet his Love Alone is my strength & his ways though Silent, helps me sail.

My bond with Coco has grown so strong that maybe to those around, I'll have to use words to share, but Coco heeds my silence.

He came down at a time in my life, where physically I'm at my lowest end, with no medication, no doctors to help through this autoimmune disease as my muscles & nerves waste away & Im unable to once again use my hands.

Coco knows & he even knew before he chose to come down & be besides me.

Though it's international pet day today, with Coco every day is special as I celebrate this togetherness every second as my life saving grace
