The time has come
The time for judgement
She has been waiting for so long
now it comes to an end
The war is done away with
its all the over the news
Country is rejoicing
forgetting sanguinary truths
But her heart knows no joy
Coz in war she might have lost
the owner of her soul
Her husband she loves the most
Since months the only contact
she has with him
is in lone hours of night
they meet in her dreams
She gazes how he fights
shouts with all might
Her heart beats heavily
a bullet may hit him anytime
It can snatch away her world
in matter of a moment
All the reasons for her to live
in a moment it can omit
She struggles to breathe
Sleep breaks fear lingers
Spends the night sitting intact
fidgeting with her fingers
In TV they announce name of martyrs
The heroes of the act
She switches it off
afraid that his name could be next
Rather chooses to wait
Cooks his favorite dish
Sings a happy song
'yes, he will arrive in all bliss'
Fear & hope & dread & belief
her thoughts so conflicting
play without mercy
she is tired of predicting
A thunder blasts in her heart
The doorbell has wrung
Stupefied, unmoved, undecided
Towards or away she should run?
Is it her man her life
who stands beyond the door?
Or is it the story of his bravery to be narrated
by heads without caps and bowed?
Gathers herself to open her fate
One last time prays to God
'Whatever awaits,
make me stand strong.'
One moment of her hand
and the two sides are face to face
She gasps out in a whisper
and her strength gives away
Her eyes meet his
She feels earth spin
Lets loose her tears
which for long she was fighting
Her legs now could not hold her
they did not even need to
Now he will be her strength
Whom she can fall into
Tears part from her eyes
His bag slips from his shoulder
He moves towards her goddess
longing arms stretched for her
He hugs her so tight
as tight as he can
She hugs him tighter
he feels her hitching against his chest
And the moment made up
for the friends he has lost
for the hours he couldn't sleep
for the scourge of the war
At last he understands
that her love was his shield
when he fought alive
in the battlefield.
