Fleeting moment...
It was peace.

It was a brief moment
that seemed like
it was meant only for me.

It was a moment that saw
a sliver of a sickle moon,
accompanied by a band of stars
that never did twinkle.

It wasn’t dark.
The sun hadn’t completely left...
But they asserted their presence
with such eagerness and fervour -
bent on letting me know they’re there,
in that moment...
Seemingly just for me.

And I drank it up.
In a single gulp.
Because that was how brief
that moment was...

•••

In that fleeting moment...
I was happy.

We met somewhere between perfect and disaster
Somewhere in the middle of bravery and fear
Though halfway found, still completely lost
Appalling past, haunting like a ghost

Together, we saw the irony of it all
Soaring high, the harder we fall
We laugh easy, we cry silently
Never here nor there, where are we?

Suppress this emotion, I am breaking piece by piece
Yet, with you I am better, you pick me up piece by piece
Holding back, fearing you might change your mind
And if I surrender, will you be there to hold my hand.

Understand if I need a little more time
So please stay and bet on some more dime
I'll wager on this game for you dear
Put everything like I never knew fear
Soon to you I will lay my heart open
And I will love you like I never felt pain.

A place where silence blooms
only at break of day
Another chance, another hope
paved its way
So you try to think and feel
though everything is gray
And peacefulness seem far away

When all you wanted was to run
One thing makes you stay around
Wishing life is all and fun
Keeping your balance on the ground

In time everything will turn out fine
Positive outlook always on the line
All smile and happiness, no more frown
As certain hope, long lost now found.
