Adieu my friend!

a poem by Mayank Mohan Pande

The sight was of the ebbing tide of the Arabian Sea and the stationary ECG display,
Of my sister-in law Shipra, nephew Gautam weeping in despair
and my niece Maya still on the way.
Kannu was a fine Geophysicist.
Of the good turns he has done me there is a very long list.
As half a century of action and love,
Cannot fill a page like a mountain cannot enter a glove,
I will revisit dear Kannu’s memory and wisdom and let his love freeze,
In sequels like gusts of the mountain breeze.
