This Journey is for The Promise, We gave to him!

We passed by a Tree full of veridien leaves

& speckles of deep purple blooms

That Reminded us of “Coco”

Serene Calm standing on its ground

Holding such beauty of A Soul!

As purple flowers like stars shone

In that instance I carried him in my arms

Swaddled him in the hue of those flowers

For they ask us, where to are you’ll headed

& I say our journey now is not measured by miles

But moments where Coco takes

Not destination but layers of trees & mountains,

That line our paths to where he wishes to take

For Coco is our home, our destination!

Our hearts are Now of the roads of flowing rivers & streams,

For the Ground, Where he stood besides us,

God, Pulled it in a Swift!

We’re Transgressing, More than travelling

So where are we headed…to that

What Answer can one give…

For Coco is in the beauty of lil serene things,

In the music & fragrance that shall forever be etched under my skin

This journey is not an end, not even a beginning or something to intervene

“This journey is for the promise we gave to Him!”

For if you ever see a tree speckled with Purple-hues

Know you’ve met Coco too;

As The Eternal Blossoms Of Spring!

Day 4th somewhere on Punjab highway, Where arid Rajasthan landscape gave way to Poplar Trees, As life sprouted & danced on farm fields.

& out of nowhere, A Tree of Purple blooms, drew both Atul & my heart;

to the Thought of what Coco to us shall always will be

Due to my chronic ailment, I never could once carry coco in my arms, but

Upon seeing those lavender blooms, in my heart, I carried my baby
