The sky seems so much blacker than all the other nights
Bringing a deeper chill which reaches my bones
The stars are scattered
Sparkling, shining, shaping the world
I can’t see anything else but you,
Anything but you and the stars
I lay down, my head on the orange and red fallen leaves
Although they all look the same in the dark
I wonder if you care we are laying on the ground
Tiny goose bumps dance along my arms and legs
I wonder why you haven’t moved closer yet
I wonder if you don’t want to be there
Laying on the leaves, in the coolness of the dark
Looking at the stars, with me
I think I’m thinking too much, I think that...
You move closer
Deep breath, deep breath...
My hand feels so small in yours,
Small but safe, safe and warm
I could fall asleep with my head on your shoulder
We say nothing
I remember the stars, they are still sparkling back at us
I’ll always remember them now

RAJA FROM INDIA.

 Friends

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.
 Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.
 One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:
that word is love.
 Do it trembling if you must,
but do it !
 The past cannot be changed,
the future is still in your power.
You are friendly, kind and caring
Sensitive, loyal and understanding
Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there... yes that's you.

Special, accepting, exciting and wise
Truthful and helpful, with honest blue eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

You're one of a kind, different from others
Generous, charming, but not one that smothers
Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game
But not just another... in the long chain.

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold
Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old
You'll always be there, I know that is true
I'll always be here... always for you.


RAJA FROM INDIA

                                                 
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love, like a river, will cut a new path
whenever it meets an obstacle.
 
Love is like a mustard seed;
planted by God
and watered by men
 
What a grand thing, to be loved!
What a grander thing still, to love!
 
All men who have achieved great things
have been great dreamers.
A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.
