The 7 Months of Hernan Ray – Part 6

a poem by Abhimanyu Rawat

Overcome with fear and pain,
Felicia wrote to Hernan.
Dearest Hernan,
Its been long since I have heard from you.
A fear creeps in my heart.
That may be
Its been ages,
I have lost track of the moons and suns that have gone by.
And all I have to comfort me are these letters.
And those too speak of such horrors.
But I know you will return soon,
For I had a vision.
Of a man returning from the mist,
And I know that man is you.
Please do be careful there.
I thought every month, I would get word from you.
It has been four letters.
I console myself by saying he has been gone for four months.
It’s agony to think of you gone for so long.
Please do come soon.
Felicia.
