The End Is The Beginning

Sanjana Karthik

Let our hearts unlock
And our skin touch time
Grant life’s movements
Life’s changes
To uphold on our skin

And the reminiscences we hold
Quench the barren lands
From within

And the sweetness
Linger
For as long
As we let in

And our hearts are pregnant
With an anecdote to share
A memory seeped in
Awakened by a new day

The sunrise
And sunset
A coupled glow

The beginning
And ending
Beckons new life
To unfold
