And Beyond !

You rush to meet me
With such a big smile.
I ignore you and see
Something else for a while.

You touch my feet first.
Moved am not by that!
Angered, you come with a hiss.
I see you, don't fear but.

You try embracing me.
I stand firm like a tree.
You then uproot me.
I give up and just be.

I came many times here.
Always liked you more.
Never once did I fear
You, though you had more.

The last time I came here,
i was so happy until,
You took one of my dears.
I went numb and still.

I would trade myself now,
For the one you took then.
Are you game? For me now
Its just a matter of when!

You house so many yet,
You remain so alien to us.
If you too lose one, I bet
You won't behave this way. Yes!
