Just the other day
My breath caught
As I met your
Warm gaze.
That knowing smile
Simply lit my day,
And my heart sang
In sheer pleasure of being!
A quirky thought then
Flitted through my mind-
So this was what was
Meant to be – this
Was what I dreamed up
Those many many
Million moments ago-
In my dreams, my hopes…
A naive foolish dream
My young-girl’s-heart thought,
Never for a moment realising,
Her heart had seen
And met, and known
The blessing of the Infinite,
The sureness of believing
In the Wonder of you!
And in that warm gaze
That now touches me, I feel it too –
Every step we’ve taken,
Every choice we’ve made,
Separately, unknowingly
Has led to this threshold
Of a day that burgeons
With unspoken vows
We never need to make now,
For we made them before
Our eyes even met-
When our hearts knew
So long ago, in time;
You and I were meant to be
Just be,
With no yesterdays
And no tomorrows-
Just be!

Nice one, Usha :)”Just be” without yesterday and tommorow– is the most pleasing, yet the most challenging proposition in any relation..Life is good when taken that way :)wishes, devika

I wrote a comment and gave error..Nice one, Usha :)”Just be” — is the most beautiful and challenging state to be..with no thoughts of past and future :)I like challenging myself that way. Future never matter..I don’t believe in it..but past is difficult to get past with :)wishes, devika

Wow! Wow! Wow! Beautiful. Amazingly beautiful. 🙂 To just be, isn’t that the only essential thing in a beautiful relationship! To just let the other person be, completely uninhibited… Lovely words again. 🙂 I feel so good! But somewhere with these beautiful words, I do miss that special someone, someone whom I haven’t met yet…sigh 🙂
