Is it .. ?

It is when reality hits you in your face that you realize how you had been dreaming all this while. Love they say cannot be found, it finds you, someday when you least expect it. Out on the street as you pass by couples holding hands, you find a stray smile streaking your lips and some where inside your heart, in that corner which you don’t visit often, a sad thought comes knocking. Sometimes it whispers at night, the loneliness, that you try to forget wrapped in the warm folds of a quilt.

A lot of times like the clay balls we throw away we keep aside a precious ball as a gift of life, never exploring it, never feeling that it can be a gift for us. And then all of sudden like the brilliant sunrise from the East, someone walks into your life and you are left blinded by the glow, and almost half scared you close your eyes, you hide away, left speechless with awe, wonder and fear.

Then in a moment, just like all other things in life, you feel a sense of bonding, a longing like despair, like something within you earns to find an outlet. And all you want is to move close and feel what you can at the ends of your finger tips, and you want to discover the tingle that spreads each time you touch, arbitrarily you meander through streets you know and don’t, re-writing memories.

In the very moment of togetherness, the words drown behind formality, fear and expectations, then in expectation of something strange, wonderful, a miracle, a sign to show that this is it. You are left walking back into your room, and as you get drenched in the shower you smile, not knowing why, not knowing how, someone probably just knocked on your heart’s door….. And you dream, sometimes letting half smiles caress your lips, and wondering where all this is leading to……

May be dreams do come true…
Especially when you least expect them to….

“To love is human …
But
To be loved Divine!”
