Brushed, washed, clothed, fed and on my way to work-
Just another day
I happen to look around
My eyes rest on a cherubic vision, the most pleasant;
I catch the little face smiling
and all of a sudden, the sunshine hits me
and it's a bright day
and yet it was one little smile.
Directionless, tired, beaten and blue,
Life is rough when your future is fogged
You must move ahead but
there are a million paths to take
Overwhelmed you shut your eyes
and pray for direction
and then all of a sudden
there is warmth around you-
the cold chilly wind of uncertainty gives way
to a light, warm breeze of hope-
you open your eyes and see yourself standing
in the arms of one who loves and understands you
and yet it was one little hug.
We are walking along the road-
one on each side
The narrow stretch of the dusty road separates us
I was lost in my thoughts when his presence shook me
out of the flight of fantasy
It had not been one of my best days
and I wasn't willing to indulge
He had yellow-brown eyes, the gaze of which would not leave me
He had a calm on his face that made me stop
and then he started moving towards me,
Somehow I invited the idea and waited for him to reach over
He came to me, with his tail wagging frantically, for what joy, I could not say
but it changed the way my day had been
and yet it was one little gesture.
Sometimes distance and peace is all you need
sitting on the shore, this is what I think
I can see the bright day
ready to handover to a colourful evening
for its shift is almost over
I sit there, playing with the sand,
scribbling random thoughts and erasing them
Insanity and meaninglessness have their own meaning
and then as I look up
I see the world changing-
the bright blue above me changes to orange,
then a deep red, then a purple and
slowly, the mighty black takes over
Those few moments of transition made me grateful
for the gift of life
and yet it was one little dusk.
It has been nine months now
and the day is finally here
I feel as distant from my own self
as I have never before
It's the blend of emptiness and euphoria that precedes a crescendo- a climax
I want it to happen for I have waited
and in the same vein, I want it to be over
I am not the one talking-
the pain and the ecstasy have taken over
Amidst all these streams of deep emotions,
It happens,
It's there- right in front of my eyes
It's like the centre of my world, lying right in front of my eyes-
It's the most beautiful creation I have ever laid my eyes on-
It's my child,
and yet it's one little creature.
