A moment!
What can a moment do?
Can it be so big to change the entire picture??
Can it be so overwhelming to change the way you look at the world??
Can a moment be so powerful?
Can it be a reflection of The Almighty, showing me how negligible
I am to this universe??
Can it take-over the ‘I’ that resides in my mind??
Can a moment take over Me… ???
Looking at the fading reflections of self in the waters of times,
I look back. So still the pool has been all along! The reflections being so clear as if
I am standing in-front of a mirror emulating my self.
A companion, a friend, who shared every thought of mine, not just joys but sorrows too.
Who has always been showering the bounty of it’s shade on me.
The sail on the waters of good times has been so good that the world around will envy me!
It was summer then!
Since last few days the weather has been daunting. My amigo was still holding strong, still generous with its soothing shade over my head.
That morning was precariously stormy, with no signs of respite. Even in those gruesome times my companion assured me support, gave me hope that I can still stand, told me to hold on and not give in.
A fulminant bang broke my trance. It was almost ear deafening sound, a thump on the water. Before I could realize what has happened, I was aghast looking at what I had in-front of me.
My companion who had been with me all along, through the times good and bad, was down in the water. Completely extirpated!
The pool was in state of utter turmoil. The tranquility was all gone! The impact was so hard that it created waves in the waters; waves hitting the shores with almost a bang. The shore in no way was able to grasp what’s happening. It started giving in breaking into pieces, falling down with every bang of wave.
The waters, were no more still, no more clear, with sands making it murky. I could no more see the reflections. The shade no more existed. The companion was no more with me!
The reflections were all gone..!
The beauteous world to which everyone used to envy was no more existent..!
I was standing in the daunting storm with solitude hemming in.
When did all this happen?
When did I loose all my treasured reflections of self in the waters of time?
Myriad questions flooding my mind……
All I can see is but one answer…………
All in ONE MOMENT…..!!!
