In the mosaic of existence
Try as I might, I cannot
Pick a speck – for each
Is intertwined
There is bliss
Pure, uncontested;
Revelling in a moment
Lived well;
Finding harmony-
Rarer than a four-leaf clover-
That chances upon you
Unawares
Elusive, in a blink
That bliss-
Drenching in a sudden shower
A stolen kiss
Revelling –
In the joy of mischief played
In the innocence of the victory then
The harmony
Of a silence, a fierce warm hug
The most beautiful thing is
Being given that chance–
To celebrate Life.

That bliss-
Drenching in a sudden shower
A stolen kiss
It reminds me of my haiku –
spring rain…
under an umbrella
his stolen kiss
