The Seeker

-The Seeker-

Once upon a time there was a Seeker. 

He searched thousands of secrets in my eyes.

I revealed my deepest and darkest secrets one by one. Offered my love unconditionally.

He listened, watched and accepted carefully may be carelessly.

I gave him a wing, A white wing to carry my soul with his every breath. But the wing was broken.

The Seeker was immobilized.

Each night he gazed into the sky seeking stars.

Bright new stars..

But always it was old, An old sky.

Existed long before he gazed.

The Seeker was trapped. 

And lost inside the box of secrets rolled down from my eyes. 

He was numb.

Seldom he felt the moisture in my secrets. 

One summer night after unexpected heavy rain, I stood beside a familiar road.

A road where we held our hands together and walked until the dawn.

I looked into his eyes. Held his hand felt the warmth. for the one last time.

Then I knew he is not a Seeker any more..

I watched him crossing to the other side of the road.

Walking away from my home.

He walked far, far beyond the mythical star.

The white shirt he wore was visible to my eyes as a distant white star. 

The Seeker has gone.

Fading away 

But, made me a Seeker in my own way
