Like A Cat, It Meows Too

'When that old river runs past your eyes/ To wash off the dirt on the riverside/ Go to the water so very near/ The river will be your eyes and ears.' ~ Riverside, Agnes Obels
Like A Cat, It Meows Too
By: Akhilesh Agarwal

You rolled off the mountain
In parts and pieces, in beats and kisses
You held at your dangling weeds
And hoped they would keep you from falling

You were a storm’s child, a waking
of a new era, a message of beauty
You were mine, to keep and cherish
But the cold, it broke your heart

You were an epiphany of a night
To be forgotten by the day
You were musings of my unbounded spirit
Sleeping by the door.
