 Picture Credit: Pankaj Tottada A spirit is kindled within my body, Long in waiting with an earnest hope. Both deep and superficial at once, It shakes me from my slumber of reality. I become the tiny speck of dust, Dancing in the beam of sunlight. I become the wave of the ocean that, Pounds its forceful fist on the shore. I turn into the nonchalant rain cloud, Teasing all the lands beneath with its shadow. I drift along with the lightest of feathers, And drop down with melting snowflakes. Until a sober voice echoes in my head Chiding me to steady my wandering heart But who doesn’t fall for unbridled happiness And the love I feel when I think about you! How would you feel when I tell you this? The force of it hits me hard at my insides Doubt and fear interlace with my thoughts I wait as moonlight stopped in its tracks, Ready to take flight with a leap of faith Across the darkest stretches of the night Leaving all the questions for time to answer.
