"Search"

For years she waited for him.
With every passing day chances got dim.
With conflicts between heart and mind, she couldn't cope.
But she was not diffident nor did she lose hope.
Against all odds she stood very strong.
Her determination kept her going, this long.
It was a case of mistaken identity.
Grossly wrong was the verdict read by the judiciary.
Labeled as a spy he suffered humiliation.
Her authentic pleas couldn't stop his 'lifetime' detention.
He was framed by his very own people.
He was honesty and integrity's disciple!
Justice will open its eyes to the blunder, she hoped.
Very belated, she realized its blindness and scorned.
His innocence was recognized and realized after many years!
Little did it help to heal his wounds or dry his tears?
Desperately, he searched for his lost dignity and respect to resurrect.
Even if he finds them, will it be possible for him to connect?
