The Moment


Soaked in moonlight was that quiet night
Lost in that moment, I was a string-less kite
Enticing fragrance from the distant flowers
That was the moment, it was all ours

Deafening silence held us together
So close we were, but still far from each other
Cold wind blew through the good old trees
Waiting we were, for the moment to freeze

Winter’s here again but it’s another year
You are gone and so is the cheer
Memories of that evening still haunt my eyes
Seeking a lost moment, my heart cries

Tears for one and smiles for some other
Strange are the ways of the great creator
But Hail the Lord, for he heals with time
A few tears more and it’ll soon be fine.

- Deepak Karamungikar
