Living in the Moment

-

 



“Talk
Let’s have conversations in the dark
World is sleeping, I’m awake with you…”

The mattress shifts slightly as you come and sit on one corner of the bed. I look at you across the dimly lit room; isn’t it alluring, how your eyes twinkle as you talk about your day? Or, how you double up with laughter, every time I share little embarrassing moments from my childhood! And how your face breaks into the most disarming smile when you snuggle up close to me, whispering sweet nothings…

Have I ever told you, that I’m happiest when I’m lost in that smile? When you look deep into my soul, tenderly, making me want to peel off the layers of numbness, while your warmth draws beautiful patterns against my bare skin. And at that moment, the world seems to fade into oblivion; just you and me, and music filling the silence between us.

You say it’s getting late, should I not get some sleep? Truth is, I don’t want to. For if I close my eyes now, you’ll be gone; and when I wake up, what if I can’t find you anymore? Now when I’m with you I feel alive again, after a very long time. You know how they say ‘living in the moment’? I guess this is what it feels like. Here. With you. I guess this is what living feels like.

I’m hiding somewhere, Behind the veil of hope: A vain curtain to the dangers that tomorrow has in stock. And when the winds of time storm past me, I’d know, That the end is near.

It   had rained like it never rained before… The sky was a lousy shade of grey, and the tall trees swung their heads and swirled their branches in the pouring rain. Roads had begun to clog with the heavy showers from the high. Streets were clearing up quickly, shops were closing down; and the animals of the street stayed put to their clans, too scared to come out of their shelters. While everyone chose to stay at home, one young girl was determined to go to school. Turning a deaf ear to her mother’s persuasion, tackling the weather head-on, umbrella in hand she set out for school. She was hardly halfway through, when the water rose to as high as her knees. Fighting against the cold wrath of nature, she was moving on, sloshing through the water, when a strong gust of wind came hurling towards her, and blew away her umbrella. Thunder rumbled, lightening flickered. It was getting dark and cold, and she was getting drenched to the skin. Yet one thought gave her the courage to move on—h...
