As Long As You Are There

As long as you are there to hold my hand,
I'll keep falling.

As long as you are there to wipe my tears,
I'll keep crying.

As long as you can read my face,
I'll keep hiding.

As long as you are there to love me,
I'll keep living.

This world has not given me much,
A lot of pain, many a heartfelt sigh.

My only comfort is your gentle touch,
My heart's speaking, this isn't a lie.

I wasn't scared of the intense dark,
Life's ugly face did not bother me.

But my fate left such a deep mark,
That I was blinded, I just couldn't see.

I gasped for breath, my vision was clouded,
Without you, like a death-toll every noise sounded.

I don't regret now I've forgotten every map,
I have surrendered I have lost.

You win dear fate, you win over me,
And I as a gentle dove, sleep in god's lap.

She is the founder and Chairperson of the Tree Foundation, an NGO which works in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu Wildlife Department for the protection of sea turtles and their hatchlings. Supraja is my guide for the evening and we were joined by a few volunteers from the Tree Foundation and a couple of other turtle enthusiasts. Soon we set out on our turtle walk adventure. Place of action On reaching the beach, we first headed to the hatchery where turtle eggs are kept in incubation in a protected environment. A grid is made with ro...
