“Isn’t it beautiful?” she exclaimed pointing to the plunging valley
The smile adorning her face was unadulterated, original & full of glee
Yet another peak had been conquered by this inveterate hiking woman
Who lead life to the fullest retaining in the face of all adversity, pluck and fun
But for him, few things mattered including a coursing river or the profuse green
Nor did he have time for lasting monuments or peacocks that gloriously preen;
His heartbeat was the beautiful lady who was the very epitome of bliss and cheer
So long as she was with him there was no force on earth that could induce in him any fear
He lived in her convincing voice and in her dazzling smile lay his sole solace
While days were spent in her memories, nights whirled away framed by her beatific face;
She was his beginning, his end and without an iota of doubt his very destiny
Just her presence and proximity liberated him and set him gloriously free
Undiminished and unfettered, he found in her company his self, absolute and true
Angels of her ilk were remarkably rare, and unfortunately so very few
But it was his spell blinding fortune that he was a chosen one
For he knew with absolute certainty that another of her like, there could be none
He knew not whether this precious treasure could be his for life
This nagging doubt beset him without respite setting off an internal strife
But the very fact that he knew her would in the end, lend him a modicum of ease
When the time finally comes for him, he would see her magnificent face before resting in peace
