Pensive moments, powerful moments!

Thoughts come, thoughts go,

Endless like waves on a sea shore;

Bubbling and foaming with might and vigour,

Calmly withering as they get closer;

No beginning, no end,

Always with some signal to send;

Sometimes a smile, sometimes a tear,

There’s no guessing which way they meander!

She feels the gentle wind in her hair,

The warmth of sunshine, behind clouds, ensnared;

Morning cuppa in hand,

By the windowsill she stands;

Million thoughts in her mind,

Entangling and playing, yet her face shows no sign;

She follows not the train of thought,

In which she was subconsciously lost!

He starts his car, after a tiring day,

Runs into traffic, while midway;

His mind wanders, vivid and bold,

Scenes from his life, before his eyes unfold;

The past that was or might have been,

The future that could be, that remains to be seen;

Unknown to himself, he thinks and believes,

Until the blaring horns snap him out of reverie!

Fleeting moments such as these,

On days as normal as could be;

Brief yet profound,

Deeply they resound;

For something within, is instantly awakened,

To an unknown possibility, waiting to happen;

Suddenly there is a change, of character or intent,

Magical as it may seem, all it took was a powerful moment!

And one such powerful moment is what it took - to make me get back to this blog! Its been "long" to say the least. My friend nailed it when he said, "The last thing you blogged about was doomsday. You know it didn't happen right?? Then why did it happen to your blog?!"

Yes, I was busy. No, I didn't stop writing. Yes, I stopped blogging everything I wrote. No, that wasn't unintentional! Yes, I am back! No, I am not promising to put up a-post-a-day or any of that naivete nonsense because I know I'll slink back to a hiatus. So yes, I will blog and hopefully more often. But no, that is not a commitment!

Coming back, I am a firm believer in the saying that life is not simply made up of a series of moments but it is certain moments that really make up life. The more I think of it, the more I am convinced that my entire life can be defined by a few hundred moments that have made me the person I am and I can say with some degree of conviction that it is the same with a lot of other people I know (maybe those I don't as well)! This poem is simply an attempt at paying a tribute to those defining moments in my life!

Cheers!

Till next time, from slo, its tally-ho!
